PREFACE. 


"Take  ...  the  sword  of  the  Spirit,  which  is  the  Word  of  God." 

Eph.  6:17. 

"  I  never  saw  a  useful  Christian  who  was  not  a  student  of  the  Bible.'' 

D.  L.  Moody. 

This  volume  is  issued  as  an  aid  to  the  study  of  the  life 
of  Jesus.  It  is  felt  that  a  more  thorough  acquaintance 
with  that  life,  in  its  plan  and  progress,  may  be  obtained 
by  the  method  here  presented  than  can  be  gained  by  the 
fragmentary  reading  of  the  Gospels.  "The  importance 
of  studying  the  four  Gospels  in  connection/'  says  Dr.  G. 
W.  Clark,  "  cannot  be  too  highly  estimated  or  too  earnestly 
enforced.  No  clear  and  well-defined  image  of  the  Savior's 
life  can  be  formed  in  the  mind  without  it.  Selecting  lead- 
ing texts  of  events  and  discourses  from  the  different  Evan- 
gelists will  not  answer  the  demand.  Each  Evangelist  must 
be  allowed  to  contribute  his  part  toward  a  full  and  perfect 
likeness.  The  true  chronological  order  must  also,  as  far 
as  possible,  be  observed,  or  the  view  will  be  confused  and 
distorted.  But  the  constant  turning  from  one  Gospel  to 
another,  and  the  act  of  comparing  and  mentally  deciding 
and  arranging,  are  exceedingly  inconvenient  and  laborious, 
and  most  persons  who  attempt  it  weary  in  the  task. 
Hence  the  great  value  of  an  arrangement  of  the  Script- 
ural text  according  to  the  probable  order  of  events,  .  .  . 
so  that  the  eye  can  survey  all  the  narratives  of  any  inci- 
dent or  utterance  at  a  glance." 

In  his  harmonized  presentation  of  the  events  and  dis- 
courses of  the  four  Gospels,  the  compiler  of  this  work  has 
followed,  in  general,  the  arrangement  adopted  by  many 
modern  Harmonists,  among  them  Tischendorf,  Eobinson, 
Strong,  Clark  and  Gardiner,  which  is  based  upon  the  view 


VI  PREFACE. 

that  Mark  and  John,  with  few  exceptions,  conform  strictly 
to  the  chronological  order:  while  Matthew  and  Luke,  on  the 
other  hand,  guided  rather  by  the  principle  of  association, 
frequently  group  together  transactions  and  narratives, 
related  to  one  theme  or  connected  by  a  common  thought, 
though  they  may  have  occurred  at  different  times  and  in 
various  places.  Of  the  Harmonists  named  above,  Dr. 
Gardiner  has  been  most  closely  adhered  to,  although  the 
arrangement  of  Kobinson  and  Clark  has  been  adopted  in  a 
few  instances,  as  avoiding  certain  transpositions  of  some 
of  the  discourses,  and  thereby,  it  is  thought,  enhancing 
the  value  of  the  volume  to  Sunday-school  workers  for 
whose  use,  as  constituting  the  large  majority  of  Bible 
students  among  the  laity,  it  has  been  especially  prepared. 

The  chronology  is  that  of  the  Eev,  Samuel  J.  Andrews, 
as  presented  in  his  "  Bible  Student's  Life  of  our  Lord," 
New  York  and  London. 

The  references  are,  in  the  main,  those  which  were  made 
with  extreme  care  and  diligence  by  the  learned  and  devout 
Dr.  Blayney  in  1769,  and  since  then  generally  printed  in 
the  leading  reference  Bibles.  To  have  given  all  these  refer- 
ences in  full  would  have  greatly  increased  the  size  and  cost 
of  this  book.  Nor  would  it  have  served  so  well  the  end 
had  in  view  as  the  plan  here  adopted.  It  is  hoped  that 
Scripture  research  will  be  stimulated  by  the  offering  of 
selections  only  from  the  great  storehouse  of  references; 
for  these  selections  may  prove  to  the  thoughtful  and 
devout  reader  guide-posts,  pointing  to  the  fertile  fields  be- 
yond— beginnings  of  that  "unfolding  of  the  divine  words 
which,"  says  the  Psalmist,  "giveth  light."  It  has  been 
the  endeavor,  further,  to  give  prominence  to  such  refer- 
ences as  seem  best  adapted  to  illustrate  the  spiritual  truths 
taught  in  the  text.  The  compiler  desires  here  to  bear 
grateful  testimony  to  the  spiritual  benefit  which  he  feels 
that  he  himself  has  gained  from  this  special  study,  which 
has  extended  over  several   years,   an  encouragement  to 


PREFACE.  vii 

hope  that  his  book  may  be  the  medium  of  a  similar  bless- 
ing to  many  of  his  readers;  and  if  that  might  be  the  result 
of  his  labors,,  great  indeed  would  be  his  reward. 

The  references  thus  chosen,  as  also  the  text  itself,  will 
render  the  book  helpful,  it  is  thought,  to  leaders  of  prayer 
and  conference  meetings,  at  which  passages  from  the  Gos- 
pels are  the  theme  for  study. 

The  map  and  diagrams  are  a  novel  feature  of  this  work, 
and  to  them  the  reader's  special  attention  is  called.  They 
have  been  carefully  prepared,  and  can  hardly  fail,  if  prop- 
erly used,  to  facilitate  an  understanding  of  the  text  and  to 
aid  the  memory. 

The  compiler  has  advanced  no  novel  or  strictly  original 
views,  but  has  followed  closely  in  the  track  of  men  whose 
right  to  speak  with  some  measure  of  authority  upon  these 
matters  is  undisputed.  And  yet  he  feels  that  he  will  not 
misrepresent  the  views  of  these  scholars,  whom  he  has 
chosen  as  guides,  in  stating  that  it  is  not  claimed  by  them 
that  the  order  of  events  or  the  chronology  here  presented, 
is  established  beyond  question.  To  quote  further  from 
Dr.  Clark,  [These  matters]  "open  a  large  field  for  the 
exercise,  both  of  the  judgment  and  of  charity.  The 
arrangement  of  many  passages  must  depend  largely  on  the 
discriminating  taste  of  the  Harmonist.  What  may  appear 
probable  and  appropriate  to  one  may  seem  less  so  to 
another.  Dogmatism,  therefore,  is  out  of  place;  caution 
and  a  regard  for  the  conclusions  of  others  are  ever  becom- 
ing, and  the  study  and  comparison  of  different  harmonies 
are  desirable  and  very  profitable." 

Attention  is  called  to  the  article  on  Bible  Translations, 
a  subject  of  importance  to  every  student  of  the  Script- 
ures. 

No  one  can  afford  to  overlook  the  Introduction  by  Dr. 
Henson.  There  is  much  of  instruction,  and  of  suggestion 
of  deep  truths  presented  in  its  pages.  J.  P.  C. 


IKTBODUCTIOK 


When  we  sing  as  we  are  accustomed  to  do, 
' '  God  is  his  own  interpreter, 
And  he  will  make  it  plain," 

the  meaning  is,  of  course,  that  those  dark  providences 
which  we  so  much  dread,  when  interpreted  by  subsequent 
providences,  when  taken  in  their  relation  to  the  whole 
course  of  God's  providence,  when  that  shall  be  set  forth 
before  us,  instead  of  being  regarded  as  black  and  baneful, 
will  be  seen  to  be  radiant  with  beauty  and  freighted  with  love. 

But  the  words  we  have  quoted  are  susceptible  as  well  of 
application  to  that  higher  and  clearer  revelation  God  has 
given  of  himself  in  his  Word.  Not  only  is  there  an  un- 
folding of  God's  meaning  in  Scripture,  even  as  there  is  in 
Providence,  so  that  what  comes  earlier  is  illuminated  and 
made  intelligible  by  what  comes  afterwards,  but  even  apart 
from  any  chronological  considerations,  it  must  evermore 
be  borne  in  mind  that  every  truth  is  many-sided  and  every 
side,  like  the  facets  of  a  diamond,  hath  its  own  peculiar 
hue  of  prismatic  beauty.  It  is  not  possible  to  see  all  the 
truth  from  any  one  standpoint,  nor  for  any  one  form  of 
statement  to  exhaust  the  fullness  of  its  meaning. 

And  so  in  what  we  call  the  Bible,  God  has  given  us 
many  books  penned  by  many  writers,  each  presenting  such 
views  of  truth  as  his  mental  and  spiritual  nature  made 
him  specially  adapted  to  be  the  vehicle  of.  Not  that  any 
one  of  these  Scripture  writers  was  left  to  wander  at  his 
"  own  sweet  will,"  so  that  we  must  largely  discount  his 
deliverances  on  account  of  his  human  imperfections  and 
the  possibility  of  his  misapprehending  what  the  Lord 
would  have  him  teach.  That  were  indeed  to  undermine 
utterly  the  authority  of  the  Scriptures,  and  "  if  the 
foundations  be  destroyed  what  shall  the  righteous  do  ? " 
We  do  most  thoroughly  and  invincibly  believe  that  "  holy 
men  of  old  spake  as  they  were  moved  by  the  Holy  Ghost," 

viii 


INTRODUCTION.  IX 

and  that  therefore  what  they  spake  may  be  absolutely 
relied  upon.  But  while  we  believe  that  all  that  each  one 
said  was  truth,  God's  truth,  we  do  not  believe  it  was  all 
the  truth.  You  must  have  all  that  all  of  them  said,  in 
order  to  be  sure  that  you  have  all  the  truth.  "Which 
things  we  speak,"  writes  the  Apostle  Paul,  "not  in  the 
words  which  man's  wisdom  teacheth,  but  which  the  Holy 
Ghost  teacheth,  comparing  spiritual  things  with  spir- 
itual." And  only  by  such  collation  and  comparison  can 
God's  truth  be  comprehended  in  all  the  breadth  and 
beauty  of  its  meaning.  You  cannot  obtain  any  accurate 
representation  of  a  building  by  taking  only  a  single  view. 
And  so  the  photographer  is  accustomed  to  take  two  pict- 
ures, from  a  little  different  points  of  view,  and  when  both 
these  are  looked  at  at  once,  as  in  a  stereopticon,  you  see 
not  two  pictures,  but  one,  and  that  not  a  flat  surface  such 
as  each  of  the  pictures  shows,  but  a  solid  that  stands 
out  in  its  massiveness  before  your  eyes.  And  yet  even 
then  you  do  not  see  the  hinder  part,  but  only  half  the 
building.  To  see  it  all  in  its  completed  symmetry,  we 
should  be  obliged  to  have  four  views,  and  to  look  at  them 
all  at  once.  But  this  is,  of  course,  impossible,  inasmuch  as 
we  have  not  four  eyes,  but  only  two.  But  the  principle 
applies  though  its  application  be  impossible.  Singularly 
enough  there  are  just  four  gospels.  The  metropolis  of 
gospel  truth,  like  the  heavenly  metropolis,  lieth  four  square. 
Four  pictures  have  we  here  of  the  matchless  Man  of  Naza- 
reth,— four  pictures,  and  all  so  much  alike  that  sometimes 
captious  critics  have  said  that  there  was  only  one  original 
gospel  and  the  other  three  were  copied  from  that.  Four 
pictures,  and  yet  all  so  different  that  other  skeptical 
critics  have  alleged  that  there  are  glaring  discrepancies 
in  them,  that  are  hopelessly  irreconcilable.  The  pict- 
ures, of  course,  must  be  alike,  for  all  of  them  are  pictures 
of  Him.  The  pictures,  of  course,  must  be  unlike,  for 
each  of  the  portrait  painters  had  his  own  peculiar  point  of 


X  INTRODUCTION. 

view.  And  yet  it  takes  all  four  to  give  us  the  Christ  of 
history  in  all  the  completeness  of  his  humanity  and  divin- 
ity. And  so  we  turn  from  one  to  the  other,  and  seek  as 
best  we  can  while  gazing  upon  one  to  carry  the  others  in 
our  mind;  and  yet  to  the  ordinary  reader,  and  even  to  the 
reader  that  is  more  than  ordinary,  there  is  conscious  diffi- 
culty and  more  or  less  confusion,  in  attempting  such  a 
process,  and  there  would  still  be,  even  though  all  four  of 
the  gospels  were  spread  before  us  in  parallel  columns,  as 
has  sometimes  been  done  in  preparing  a  gospel  Harmony. 
In  the  present  volume  the  attempt  is  made  to  obviate 
this  difficulty  by  weaving  the  four  into  one,  and  making  a 
mosaic,  in  which  the  tracery  and  coloring  of  each  of  the 
divinely-guided  artist-evangelists  shall  be  faithfully  pre- 
served, and  so  the  matchless  portrait  of  the  Son  of  Man 
shall  beam  upon  us,  as  it  were,  from  a  single  canvass  in- 
stead of  four.  How  well  the  attempt  has  succeeded  must 
be  left  for  the  devout  and  scholarly  student  to  judge. 
That  it  is  not  an  easy  task  which  our  author  has  under- 
taken, he  will  himself  very  frankly  concede;  nor  is  it  one 
in  which  absolute  perfection  can  be  possibly  attained  by 
human  hands.  That  great  pains  have  been  taken,  great 
research  employed,  and  marked  ability  displayed  in  the 
preparation  of  this  volume,  must  be  readily  apparent  to 
every  thoughtful  reader  of  it.  That  it  will  be  an  aid  of 
great  value  in  Bible  study,  and  that  it  will  enhance  our 
appreciation  of  the  marvelous  unity  in  variety,  harmony 
in  diversity,  that  distinguishes  the  gospel  histories,  and 
above  all  that  it  will  contribute  not  a  little  to  the  clear- 
ness and  fullness  of  our  conceptions  of  him  "  in  whom  all 
fullness  dwells,  and  of  whose  fullness  we  have  all  received, 
and  grace  for  grace,"  I  do  very  sincerely  and  firmly  be- 
lieve; and  therefore  I  do  very  cordially  commend  it  to  all 
who  love  him,  and  long  for  his  appearing,  and  who  feel 
that  above  all  things  else,  his  "life  is  the  light  of  men."

EXPLANATION  OF  TEXT. 


The  figure  !  in  the  text  indicates  that  the  portion  fol- 
lowing it  has  been  taken  from  Matthew's  Gospel.  In  like 
manner  the  figures  2  8  and  4  indicate  the  Gospel  from  which 
the  portions  following  them  are  taken, 3  indicating  Mark, 
3  Luke  and 4  John.  The  figure  &  indicates  that  the  words 
following  it  are  not  found  in  any  of  the  four  Gospels,  br-t 
have  been  either  introduced  or  substituted. 

The  chapters  and  verses  given  at  the  beginning  of  each 
section  show  what  portions  of  each  Gospel  are  incorpo- 
rated in  that  section. 

The  words  in  smaller  type,  in  brackets,  are  those  that 
are  not  incorporated  in  the  text  either  1st,  to  avoid  redun- 
dancy, or  2d,  because  they  do  not  *coalesce  with  the  words 
that  are  used  in  the  text,  or  3d,  because  they  do  not  occur 
in  the  same  relative  position  in  the  Gospel  from  which 
they  camef  as  they  do  in  the  other  Evangelists,  much  care 
having  been  taken  throughout  the  entire  work  to  preserve 
the  exact  sequence  of  each  narrative  wherever  possible. 

The  figures  * 2  3  4  which  refer  to  the  different  Evangelists 
(as  previously  explained),  when  used  within  the  brackets, 

*The  correct  principle  of  uniformity  in  renderings  which  was  adopted  in 
the  new  version  has  permitted  the  coalescing  of  the  sacred  narratives, 
especially  of  the  words  of  Jesus,  to  an  extent  that  has  been  quite  unex- 
pected and  most  gratifying  to  the  compiler,  and  in  a  very  much  more 
complete  manner  than  it  was  possible  in  the  common  vei'sion,  where  the 
incorrect  principle  of  diversity  in  renderings  was  a  characteristic.  See 
remarks  on  the  two  versions  in  the  article  entitled  "A  Brief  History  of  the 
Translations  of  the  English  Bible,"  page  363. 

+As  illustrative  of  this,  see  "  example  "  given  herewith,  where  the  words 
from  Matthew  "  to  come  unto  me,"  are  put  in  the  smaller  type  because  they, 
in  the  original  narrative,  follow  the  words  "  forbid  them  not "  instead  of 
preceding  them  as  is  the  case  in  Mark  and  Luke.

taken,  the  text  proper  not  being  influenced  by  them.

§105.     Christ  Blessing  Little  Children. 

Perm  (No.  64).     (Going  South.) 

Matt.  19:13-15.       Mark  10:13-16.        Luke  18:15-17. 

3  3And  they  were  bringing  [^hen  were  there  brought]  '  a  'unto 
him  ' 2little  children  [3aiso  their  babes],1  a3that  he  should  2lay 
his  hands  on  them,  [2  3touch  them]  and  pray:  3but  when 
f1 2and]  *  2  3the  disciples  3saw  it,  they  1 2  3rebuked  them.  But 
2when  '  2  3Jesus  2saw  it,  he  was  moved  with  indignation,  and 
3called  them  unto  him,  5and  '  2said  2unto  them  [3saying], 
1 2  3Suffer  the  little  children  2  3to  come  unto  me, ' 3and  ■  2  3for- 
bid  them  not:  [xto  come  unto  me:]  for  to  such  belongeth  the 

kingdom  Of  2  3God  [heaven.] 

The  number  "64"  in  the  heading  refers  to  the  corre- 
sponding number  on  the  "Map  of  the  Pathways  of  Jesus." 
The  words  "(Going  South)"  indicate  the  probable  direc- 
tion of  his  journey  at  the  time  when  this  incident  occurred. 

The  figures  2  3  in  the  first  line  of  the  text  indicate  that 
the  words  "And  they  were  bringing"  are  taken  from 
Mark  and  Luke;  while  the  brackets,  the  small  type  and 
the  figure  '  indicate  that  these  words  "Then  were  there 
brought "  are  from  Matthew,  but  are  not  incorporated  in 
the  text  of  this  work.  The  figures  l 2  3  next  following, 
indicate  that  the  words  "unto  him"  are  taken  from 
Matthew,  Mark  and  Luke;  and  the  figures 1 2  before  "  little," 
indicate  that  the  words  "little  children"  are  taken  from 
Matthew  and  Mark;  while  the  brackets,  small  type  and 
figure  3  indicate  that  the  words  "also  their  babes"  are 
taken  from  Luke,  but  are  not  incorporated  in  the  text. 
In  the  same  way  it  will  be  understood  that  the  words  "that 
he  should "  are  from  Matthew,  Mark  and  Luke;  "  lay  his

hands  on  them,  and  pray/'  are  from  Matthew,  [a  3 "  touch 
them "]  are  from  Mark  and  Luke,  but  not  incorporated  in 
the  text;  [12and]  is  from  Matthew  and  Mark,  but  not 
incorporated  in  the  text.  The  figure  5  in  the  sixth  line, 
indicates  that  the  word  ' '  and  "  is  not  found  in  any  Gospel, 
but  has  been  introduced.  In  a  similar  manner  the  re- 
mainder of  the  section  will  be  readily  understood. 

Thus  every  word  and  phrase  in  each  of  the  Gospels 
will  be  found  in  this  work  either  woven  into  the  text  or 
placed  within  the  brackets  in  the  smaller  type.  The 
reader  will  therefore  have  a  continuous  narrative,  a  com- 
plete Harmony,  and  a  ready  exhibit  of  the  differences 
between  the  Evangelists;  and  by  his  perusal  of  this  one 
account  of  the  Savior's  life  he  will  receive  into  his  mind 
in  a  clear  and  coherent  form  every  thought  that  is  found 
in  the  four  separate  accounts. 


SUPPLEMENT  TO  THE  FOUETH  EDITION. 

With  a  view  to  illustrate  more  fully  the  work  which 
was  to  be  done  in  the  preparation  of  this  volume,  and  the 
method  by  which  that  work  was  accomplished,  the  incident 
on  the  opposite  page  is  given,  the  four  accounts  being 
arranged  in  parallel  columns,  and  the  words  which  occur 
in  only  one  Gospel  being  printed  in  display  type.  In  the 
illustration,  short  as  it  is,  there  are,  it  will  be  seen,  over 
one  hundred  words  thus  distinguished.  The  more 
important  differences  are  these:  Matthew  alone  speaks  (a) 
of  the  fate  of  those  who  "take  the  sword,"  (b)  of  the 
angels,  and  (c)  of  Jesus'  desire  to  fulfill  the  Scriptures. 
Luke  alone  mentions  the  healing ;  and  John  alone  gives 
the  names  of  Peter  and  Malchus,  and  speaks  of  the  cup. 
Only  Luke  and  John  mention  which  ear  was  smitten.  On 
page  315  will  be  found  the  consolidated  narrative  which 
brings  out  in  one  reading  all  the  facts  which  in  the 
arrangement  in  parallel  columns  can  only  be  ascertained 
after  four  separate  readings  and  mutual  comparisons.

§1.      INTRODUCTION"   TO   JOH^S   GOSPEL. 
John  1:1-18. 

In  the  beginning  "was  the  Word,  and  the  Word  was 
6 with  God,  cand  the  Word  was  God.  The  same  rfwas  in 
the  beginning  with  God.  eAll  things  were  made  through 
him;  and  without  him  was  not  anything  made  that  hath 

a  Prov.  8:22  [The  eternity  of  Wisdom],  "The  Lord  possessed  me  in 
the  beginning  of  his  way,  before  the  works  of  old.  I  was  set  up  from  ever- 
lasting, from  the  beginning,  or  ever  the  eai'th  was."  Col.  1:15  [Of  the 
Son  of  God],  "  Who  is  the  image  of  the  invisible  God,  the  firstborn  of  all 
creation;  (16)  for  in  him  were  all  things  created,  in  the  heavens  and  upon 
the  earth,  things  visible  and  things  invisible ;  ...  all  things  have  been  cre- 
ated through  him,  and  unto  him ;  and  he  is  before  all  things  and  in  him  all 
things  consist."    Rev.  19:13,  "  His  name  is  called  the  Word  of  God." 

b  Prov.  8:24  [The  eternity  of  Wisdom],  "  When  there  ivere  no  depths, 
I  was  brought  forth ;  when  there  icere  no  fountains  abounding  with  water. 
Before  the  mountains  were  settled,  before  the  hills  was  I  brought  forth. 
Whosoever  findeth  me  findeth  life."  John  17:5  (§  137),  "And  now,  O  Father, 
glorify  thou  me  with  thine  own  self  with  the  glory  which  I  had  with  thee 
before  the  world  was."  1  John  1:1,  "That  which  was  from  the  beginning, 
concerning  the  Word  of  life." 

c  Phil.  2:5, 6, M  Christ  Jesus,  .  .  .who  existing  in  the  form  of  God,  counted 
not  the  being  on  an  equality  with  God  a  thing  to  be  grasped,  but  emptied 
himself,  taking  the  form  of  a  servant." 

d  Gen.  1:1,  "In  the  beginning  God  created  the  heaven  and  the  earth." 

e  Psa.  33:6,  "By  the  Word  of  the  Lord  were  the  heavens  made."  Col. 
1:16,  see  on  a  above.  Eph.  3:9.  Heb.  1:1,  2,  "  God  hath  at  the  end  of  these 
days  spoken  unto  us  in  his  Son,  whom  he  appointed  heir  of  all  things, 
through  whom  also  he  made  the  worlds."  Rev.  4:11,  "  For  thou  didst 
create  all  things,  and  because  of  thy  will  they  were  and  were  created."

light  of  men.  And  the  light  shineth  in  the  darkness; 
and  the  darkness  apprehended  it  not. 

There  "came  a  man,  sent  from  God,  whose  name  was 
John.  *The  same  came  for  witness,  that  he  might  bear 
witness  of  the  light,  that  all  might  believe  through  him. 
He  was  not  the  light,  but  came  that  he  might  bear  witness 
of  the  light.  There  was  'the  true  light,  even  the  light 
which  lighteth  every  man,  coming  into  the  world.  He 
was  in  the  world,  and  *"the  world  was  made  through  him, 
and  the  world  knew  him  not.  "He  came  unto  his  own, 
and  they  that  were  his  own  received  him  not.  °But  as 
many  as  received  him,  to  them  gave  he  the  right  to 
become  children  of  God,  even  to  them  that  believe  on  his 

/  John  5:26  (§  39),  "  For  as  the  Father  hath  life  in  himself,  even  so  gave 
he  to  the  Son  also  to  have  life  in  himself."  1  John  5 :11— "  that  God  gave 
unto  us  eternal  life,  and  this  life  is  in  his  Son." 

g  John  8:12  (§  83),  "  I  am  the  light  of  the  world :  he  that  f olloweth  me 
shall  not  walk  in  the  darkness,  but  shall  have  the  light  of  life."  9:5  (§  84), 
"  When  I  am  in  the  world  I  am  the  light  of  the  world."  ]2:4G  (§  125),  "  I  am 
come  a  light  into  the  world,  that  whosoever  believeth  on  me  may  not  abide 
in  the  darkness." 

h  John  3:19  (§  24),  "  This  is  the  judgment,  that  the  light  is  come  into  the 
world,  and  men  loved  the  darkness  rather  than  the  light,  for  their  works 
were  evil." 

i  Mai.  3:1,  "  Behold,  I  will  send  my  messenger,  and  he  shall  prepare  the 
way  before  me."  Luke  3:2  (§  16),  "  The  word  of  God  came  unto  John  the 
son  of  Zacharias  in  the  wilderness."    Matt.  3:1  (§  16). 

k  Acts  19:4. 

I  Isa.  49:6.  "  I  will  also  give  thee  for  a  light  to  the  Gentiles,  that  thou 
mayest  be  my  salvation  unto  the  end  of  the  earth."  1  John  2:8— "because 
the  darkness  is  passing  away,  and  the  true  light  already  shineth." 

m  Heb.  1:1.  See  on  e  above.  11:3,  "By  faith  we  understand  that  the 
worlds  have  been  framed  by  the  word  of  God." 

n  Luke  19:12-14  (§  111)  [Parable  of  the  ten  pieces  of  money],  "  We  will 
not  have  this  man  reign  over  us."  Acts  3:12-14  [Peter  said],  "  Ye  men  of

verily  not  to  angels  doth  he  give  help,  but  he  giveth  help  to  the  seed  of 
Abraham." 

t  Isa.  40:5,  "  The  glory  of  the  Lord  shall  be  revealed,  and  all  flesh  shall 
see  it  together."  Matt.  17:2  (§  71),  "  Jesus  .  .  .  was  transfigured  before  them ; 
and  his  face  did  shine  as  the  sun."  2  Pet.  1:16,  "  We  .  .  .  were  eyewitnesses 
of  his  majesty.  For  he  received  from  God  the  Father  honor  and  glory, 
when  there  was  borne  such  a  voice  to  him  by  the  Majestic  Glory,  This  is

Luke  1:5-25. 

There  was  "in  the  days  of  Herod,  king  of  Judasa,  a 
certain  priest  named  Zacharias,  boi  the  course  of  Abijah: 
and  he  had  a  wife  of  the  daughters  of  Aaron,  and  her 
name  was  Elisabeth.  And  they  were  both  'righteous  be- 
fore God,  walking  in  all  the  commandments  and  ordi- 
nances of  the  Lord  blameless.  And  they  had  no  child, 
because  that  Elisabeth  was  barren,  and  they  both  were 
now  well  stricken  in  years. 

Now  it  came  to  pass,  while  he  executed  the  priest's 
office  before  G-od,  rfin  the  order  of  his  course,  according  to 
the  custom  of  the  priest's  office,  his  lot  was  to  enter  into 
the  temple  of  the  Lord  and  *burn  incense.  7And  the 
whole  multitude  of  the  people  were  praying  without  at 
the  hour  of  incense.  And  there  appeared  unto  him  an 
angel  of  the  Lord  standing  on  the  right  side  of  ^the  altar 
of  incense.     And  ^Zacharias  was  troubled  when  he  saw

him,  Fear  not,  Zacharias:  because  thy  supplication  is 
heard,  and  thy  wife  Elisabeth  shall  bear  thee  a  son,  and 
thou  shalt  call  his  'name  John.  And  thou  shalt  have  joy 
and  gladness;  and  many  shall  rejoice  at  his  birth.  For

filled  with  the  Holy  Spirit,  'even  from  his  mother's  womb.

this?  for  I  am  an  old  man,  and  my  wife  well  stricken  in

he  eat  nothing  that  is  made  of  the  vine-tree,  from  the  kernels  even  to  the 
husk."  Judg.  13:4  [To  the  wife  of  Manoah,  Samson's  father],  "Beware

[Of  the  same,  just  after  Jesus  had  been  transfigured],  "Peter  and  James

for  Zacharias,  and  they  marvelled  while  he  tarried  in  the 
temple.  And  when  he  came  out,  he  could  not  speak  unto 
them:  and  they  perceived  that  he  had  seen  a  vision  in  the 
temple:  and  he  continued  making  signs  unto  them,  and 
remained  dumb.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  days  of 
his  ministration  were  fulfilled,  he  departed  unto  his  house. 
And  after  these  days  Elisabeth  his  wife  conceived;  and

Now  Elisabeth's  time  was  fulfilled  that  she  should 
be  delivered;  and  she  brought  forth  a  son.  And  her 
neighbours  and  her  kinsfolk  heard  that  the  Lord  had 
magnified  his  mercy  towards  her;  and  "they  rejoiced  with 
her.  And  it  came  to  pass  *on  the  eighth  day,  that  they 
came  to  circumcise  the  child;  and  they  would  have  called 
him  Zacharias,  after  the  name  of  his  father.  And  his 
mother  answered  and  said,  cNot  so;  but  he  shall  be  called 
John.  And  they  said  unto  her,  There  is  none  of  thy 
kindred  that  is  called  by  this  name.  And  they  made 
signs  to  his  father,  what  he  would  have  him  called. 
And  he  asked  for  a  writing  tablet,  and  wrote,  saying, 
dHis  name  is  John.  And  they  marvelled  all.  "And  his 
mouth  was  opened  immediately,  and  his  tongue  loosed, 
and  he  spake,  blessing  God.  And  fear  came  on  all  that 
dwelt  round  about  them;  and  all  these  sayings  were  noised 
abroad  throughout  all  •'"the  hill  country  of  Judaea.  And 
all  that  heard  them  4aid  them  up  in  their  heart,  saying, 
What  then  shall  this  child  be?  For  Hhe  hand  of  the 
Lord  was  with  him.

forth  a  son,

daughter  of  Heli.  The  order  in  Luke  is  inverted,  and  the  words  "  the  son  " 
are  omitted  for  convenience  of  comparison.

v  [The  first  division  ends  with  David,  including  him  in  number  14 ;  the 
second  division  begins  with  David,  including  him  also  in  the  second  14. 
This  is  in  accordance  with  usage,  but  shows  that  this  statement  of  Matthew 
as  to  the  number  of  the  generations  is  meant  to  apply  only  to  the  list  given, 
and  not  to  the  number  which  had  actually  existed.  The  same  thing  appears 
from  the  fact  that  in  Matthew's  list  the  names  of  Jewish  kings  are  omitted 
between  Joram  and  Uzziah,  viz. :  Ahaziah,  Joash  and  Amaziah.  Also,  be- 
tween Josiah  and  Jechoniah,  the  name  of  Jehoiakim  is  omitted.  Of  the 
existence  of  these  intermediate  generations  St.  Matthew,  regarded  simply 
as  a  pious  Jew,  could  not  have  been  ignorant.  Such  omissions  in  genealo- 
gies abound  in  Scripture.  Thus,  Ezra  (7:1-5)  in  recording  his  own  gene- 
alogy, omits  six  or  seven  of  the  names  given  in  1  Chro.  6:3-15.  (Cf.  also 
1  Chro.  4:1  with  2:50,  etc.)— Gardiner.]  [One  of  the  purposes  of  this  group- 
ing into  periods  was  probably  to  assist  in  memorizing  the  list.]  [Matthew 
aims  to  shew  that  Jesus  is  the  heir  of  the  two  great  Jewish  covenants 
—that  with  Abraham,  and  that  with  David.  To  this  end  he  must  establish, 
first,  that  Joseph,  Jesus'  legal  father,  was  of  David's  house,  and  so  a  lawful 
heir  of  the  dignity  promised  in  the  covenant ;  second,  that  Jesus  stood  in 
such  relation  to  Joseph  as  himself  to  have  legal  claim  to  all  promises  be- 
longing to  the  latter.  He  therefore  brings  prominently  forward  in  his  Gos- 
pel the  fact  that  Joseph  was  of  royal  lineage,  and  cites  his  genealogical 
register  in  proof  .—Andrews,  page  54.]  [Adding  the  four  omitted  names  to 
Matthew's  list,  Jesus  was  thirty-one  generations  removed  from  David  in 
Joseph's  line,  and  forty-two  generations  from  David  in  his  mother's  line ; 
thus  giving  an  average  of  thirty-two  years  to  a  generation  in  the  former 
line  and  about  twenty-four  years  to  a  generation  in  the  latter  line.]

by  the  shepherds.  But  Mary  *kept  all  these  sayings,  pon-

they  went  up  after  the  custom  of  the  feast;  and  when 
they  had  fulfilled  the  days,  as  they  were  returning,  the 
boy  Jesus  tarried  behind  in  Jerusalem;  and  his  parents 
knew  it  not;  but  supposing  him  to  be  in  the  company, 
they  went  a  day's  journey;  and  they  sought  for  him  among 
their  kinsfolk  and  acquaintance;  and  when  they  found 
him  not,  they  returned  to  Jerusalem,  seeking  for  him. 
And  it  came  to  pass,  after  three  days  they  found  him  in 
the  temple,  sitting  in  the  midst  of  the  doctors,  both  hear- 
ing them,  and  asking  them  questions;  and  all  that  heard 
him  were  amazed  at  his  understanding  and  his  answers. 
And  when  they  saw  him,  they  were  ^astonished;  and  his 
mother  said  unto  him,  Son,  why  hast  thou  thus  dealt  with

John  1:19-34. 

And  this  is  athe  witness  of  John,  when  the  Jews  sent 
unto  him  from  Jerusalem  priests  and  Levites  to  ask  him, 
Who  art  thou?  And  *he  confessed,  and  denied  not;  and 
he  confessed,  I  am  not  the  Christ.  And  they  asked  him, 
What  then?  Art  thou  'Elijah?  And  he  saith,  I  am  not. 
Art  thou  <*the  prophet?  And  he  answered,  No.  They 
said  therefore  unto  him,  Who  art  thou  ?  that  we  may  give 
an  answer  to  them  that  sent  us.  What  sayest  thou  of  thy- 
self ?  He  said,  el  amthe  voice  of  one  crying  in 
the  wilderness,  Make  straight  the  way  of 
the  Lord,  7as  said  Isaiah  the  prophet.     And  they  had

borne  witness  unto  the  truth.  .  .  .  But  the  witness  which  I  have  is  greater 
than  that  of  John;  for  the  works  which  the  Father  hath  given  me  to  accom- 
plish, .  .  .  bear  witness  of  me." 

b  Luke  3:15  (§  16),  "  All  men  reasoned  in  their  hearts  concerning  John, 
whether  haply  he  were  the  Christ;  John  answered,  .  .  .  There  cometh 
he  that  is  mightier  than  I,  the  latchet  of  whose  shoes  I  am  not  worthy  t<f 
unloose."  John  3:28  (§  25),  "  Ye  yourselves  bear  me  witness,  that  I  said, 
I  am  not  the  Christ,  but  that  I  am  sent  before  him."  Acts  13:16, 25,  "  Paul  .  .  . 
said,  ...  as  John  was  fulfilling  his  course,  he  said,  ...  I  am  not  he,  .  .  .

say  the  scribes  that  Elijah  must  first  come?  And  he  answered,  .  .  .  Elijah 
indeed  cometh  and  shall  restore  all  things;  but  I  say  unto  you  that  Elijah  is 
come  already,  and  they  knew  him  not,  but  did  unto  him  whatsoever  they

said  unto  him,  Why  then  baptizest  thou,  if  thou  art  not

the  brim.  And  he  saith  unto  them,  Draw  out  now,  and  bear

John  2:13-25. 

And  the  *passover  of  the  Jews  was  at  hand,  and  Jesus 
went  up  to  Jerusalem.  And  Jhe  found  in  the  temple  those 
that  sold  oxen  and  sheep  and  doves,  and  the  changers  of 
money  sitting:  and  he  made  a  scourge  of  cords,  and  cast 
all  out  of  the  temple,  both  the  sheep  and  the  oxen;  and 
he  poured  out  the  changers'  money,  and  overthrew  their 
tables;  and  to  them  that  sold  the  doves  he  said,  Take 
these  things  hence;  make  not  cmy  Father's  house  a  house 
of  merchandise.  His  disciples  remembered  that  it  was 
written,  rfZeal  for  thy  house  shall  eat  me  up.  The 
Jews  therefore  answered  and  said  unto  him,  eWhat  sign

a  sign  ?  .  .  .  Our  fathers  ate  manna  in  the  wilderness.  .  .  .  Jesus  .  .  .  said,

Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them,  -^Destroy  this  temple 

[Marg.,   or,    "sanctuary,"   and  so   elsewhere   in  this    section],    and   in 

three  days  I  will  raise  it  up.  The  Jews  therefore  said, 
Forty  and  six  years  was  this  temple  in  building,  and 
wilt  thou  raise  it  up  in  three  days?  But  he  spake  of  the 
^temple  of  his  body.  When  therefore  he  was  raised  from 
the  dead,  Ahis  disciples  remembered  that  he  spake  this; 
and  they  believed  the  Scripture,  and  the  word  which  Jesus 
had  said. 

Now  when  he  was  in  Jerusalem  at  the  passover,  during 
the  feast,  many  believed  on  his  name,  beholding  his  signs 
which  he  did.  But  Jesus  did  not  trust  himself  unto  them, 
for  that  he  knew  all  men,  and  because  he  needed  not  that 
any  one  should  bear  witness  concerning  man;  'for  he  him- 
self knew  what  was  in  man. 

/  Mark  14:57,  etc.  (§  143)  [Before  the  high  priest],  "  There  stood  up  certain 
and  bare  false  witness  against  him,  saying,  We  heard  him  say,  I  will  destroy 
this  temple  that  is  made  with  hands,  and  in  three  days  I  will  build  another 
made  without  hands."  Mark  15:29,  etc.  (§  153),  "  They  that  passed  by  railed 
on  him,  ...  Ha  !  thou  that  destroyest  the  temple,  and  buildest  it  in  three 
days,  save  thyself,  and  come  down  from  the  cross.'"

of  God,  and  that  the  Spirit  of  God  dwelleth  in  you  ?  .  .  .  for  the  temple  of 
God  is  holy,  which  temjile  ye  are."  2  Cor.  6:16,  "  for  we  are  a  temple  of  the 
living  God  :  even  as  God  said,  I  will  dwell  in  them,  and  walk  in  them."

spake  unto  you  when  he  was  yet  in  Galilee,  saying  that  the  Son  of  man 
must  be  delivered  up  .  .  .  and  be  crucified,  and  the  third  day  rise  again. 
And  they  remembered  his  words."

believed  because  of  his  word;  and  they  said  to  the  woman,

After  these  things  there  was  aa  [Marg.,  many  read  "  the

Now  there  is  in  Jerusalem  by  the  *sheep  gate  a  pool, 
which  is  called  in  Hebrew,  Bethesda,  having  five  porches. 
In  these  lay  a  multitude  of  them  that  were  sick,  blind, 
halt,  withered.  And  a  certain  man  was  there,  who  had 
been  thirty  and  eight  years  in  his  infirmity.  When  Jesus 
saw  him  lying,  and  knew  that  he  had  been  now  a  long 
time  in  that  case,  he  saith  unto  him,  Wouldest  thou  be 
made  whole?  The  sick  man  answered  him,  Sir,  I  have 
no  man,  when,  the  water  is  troubled,  to  put  me  into  the 
pool:  but  while  I  am  coming,  another  steppeth  down 
before  me.  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  c  Arise,  take  up  thy  bed 
[Marg.,  or  "pallet"],  and  walk.  And  straightway  the  man 
was  made  whole,  and  took  up  his  bed  and  walked.

90  SECOND   PASSOVEK   TO   THIRD.  [§39 

Now  it  was  the  ^sabbath  on  that  day.  So  the  Jews 
said  unto  him  that  was  cured,  It  is  the  sabbath,  and  eit  is 
not  lawful  for  thee  to  take  up  thy  bed.  But  he  answered 
them,  He  that  made  me  whole,  the  same  said  unto  me, 
Take  up  thy  bed,  and  walk.  They  asked  him,  Who  is  the 
man  that  said  unto  thee,  Take  up  thy  led,  and  walk? 
But  he  that  was  healed  knew  not  who  it  was:  for  Jesus 
had  conveyed  himself  away,  a  multitude  being  in  the  place. 
Afterward  Jesus  findeth  him  in  the  temple,  and  said  unto 
him,  Behold,  thou  art  made  whole:  -^sin  no  more,  lest  a 
worse  thing  befall  thee.  The  man  went  away,  and  told 
the  Jews  that  it  was  Jesus  who  had  made  him  whole.  And 
for  this  cause  did  the  Jews  persecute  Jesus,  because  he 
did  these  things  on  the  sabbath.  But  Jesus  answered 
them,  ^My  Father  worketh  even  until  now,  and  I  work. 
For  this  cause  therefore  the  Jews  ^sought  the  more  to  kill 
him,  because  he  not  only  brake  the  sabbath,  but  also  called 
God  his  own  Father,  making  himself  'equal  with  God.

Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  *The  Son  can  do  nothing 
of  himself,  but  what  he  seeth  the  Father  doing:  for  what 
things  soever  he  doeth,  these  the  Son  also  doeth  in  like 
manner.  'For  the  Father  loveth  the  Son,  and  sheweth 
him  all  things  that  himself  doeth:  and  greater  works  than 
these  will  he  shew  him,  that  ye  may  marvel.  For  as  the 
Father  raiseth  the  dead  and  quickeneth  them,  ™even  so  the 
Son  also  quickeneth  whom  he  will.  For  neither  doth  the 
Father  judge  any  man,  wbut  he  hath  given  all  judgment

honour  the  Father.  °He  that  honoureth  not  the  Son  hon-

unto  you,  ^'He  that  heareth  my  word,  and  believeth  him 
that  sent  me,  hath  eternal  life,  and  cometh  not  into  judg-

rwhen  the  dead  shall  hear  the  voice  of  the  Son  of  God;  and 
they  that  hear  shall  live.  For  as  the  Father  hath  life  in 
himself,  even  so  gave  he  to  the  Son  also  to  have  life  in 
himself:  and  she  gave  him  authority  to  execute  judgment,

through  nor  steal:  for  where  thy  treasure  is,  there  will 
thy  heart  be  also.  rfThe  lamp  of  the  body  is  the  eye:  if 
therefore  thine  eye  be  single,  thy  whole  body  shall  be  full

be  full  of  darkness.  If  therefore  the  light  that  is  in  thee

^Therefore  I  say  unto  you,  Be  not  anxious  for  your 
life,  what  ye  shall  eat,  or  what  ye  shall  drink;  nor  yet  for 
your  body,  what  ye  shall  put  on.  Is  not  the  life  more 
than  the  food,  and  the  body  than  the  raiment?  ABehold 
the  birds  of  the  heaven,  that  they  sow  not,  neither  do 
they  reap,  nor  gather  into  barns;  and  your  heavenly 
Father  feedeth  them.  Are  not  ye  of  much  more  value 
than  they?  And  which  of  you  by  being  anxious  can  add 
one  cubit  unto  [Marg.,  or,  "his  stature "]  the  measure  of  his 
life?  And  why  are  ye  anxious  concerning  raiment?  Con- 
sider the  lilies  of  the  field,  how  they  grow;  they  toil  not, 
neither  do  they  spin:  yet  I  say  unto  you,  that  even  Solo- 
mon in  all  his  glory  was  not  arrayed  like  one  of  these. 
But  if  God  doth  so  clothe  the  grass  of  the  field,  which 
to-day  is,  and  to-morrow  is  cast  into  the  oven,  shall  he 
not  much  more  clothe  you,  0  ye  of  little  faith?  Be  not 
therefore  anxious,  saying,  What  shall  we  eat?  or,  What 
shall  we  drink?  or,  Wherewithal  shall  we  be  clothed? 
Tor  after  all  these  things  do  the  Gentiles  seek;  for  your 
heavenly  Father  knoweth  that  ye  have  need  of  all  these 
things.  "But  seek  ye  first  his  kingdom,  and  his  righteous- 
ness; and  all  these  things  shall  be  added  unto  you.  Be 
not  therefore  anxious  for  the  morrow:  for  the  morrow  will 
be  anxious  for  itself.  Sufficient  unto  the  day  is  the  evil 
thereof.

so  shall  the  Son  of  man  be  three  days  and  three  nights  in

came  and  sowed  tares  also  among  the  wheat,  and  went 
away.  But  when  the  blade  sprang  up,  and  brought  forth 
fruit,  then  appeared  the  tares  also.  And  the  servants  of 
the  householder  came  and  said  unto  him,  Sir,  didst  thou 
not  sow  good  seed  in  thy  field?  whence  then  hath  it  tares? 
And  he  said  unto  them,  An  enemy  hath  done  this.  And 
the  servants  say  unto  him,  Wilt  thou  then  that  we  go  and 
gather  them  up?  But  he  saith,  Nay;  lest  haply  while  ye 
gather  up  the  tares,  ye  root  up  the  wheat  with  them.  Let 
both  grow  together  until  the  harvest:  and  in  the  time  of 
the  harvest  I  will  say  to  the  reapers,  Gather  up  first  the

THE   SEED   GROWING  SECRETLY.

And  he  said,  So  is  the  kingdom  of  God,  as  if  a  man 
should  cast  seed  upon  the  earth;  and  should  sleep  and  rise 
night  and  day,  and  the  seed  should  spring  up  and  grow, 
he  knoweth  not  how.  The  earth  beareth  fruit  of  herself; 
first  the  blade,  then  the  ear,  then  the  full  corn  in  the  ear. 
But  when  the  fruit  is  ripe,  straightway  he  putteth  forth

WHY   HE   SPAKE   IN   PARABLES. 
Matt.  13:34-35.       Mark  4:33-34. 

'All  these  things  spake  Jesus  in  parables  unto  the  mul-

unto  them,  as  they  were  'able  to  hear  it;  1 2and  without  a

might  be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken  through  the  -'prophet, 
saying, 

I  will  open  my  mouth  in  parables; 
I  will  utter  things  hidden  from  the  foundation  of  the 
world, 
2but  privately  to  his  own  disciples  he  expounded  all  things. 

d  Matt.  17:20  (§  72)  [When  the  disciples  could  not  heal  the  demoniac  boy], 
"  If  ye  have  faith  as  a  grain  of  mustard  seed,  ye  shall  say  unto  this  mount- 
ain, Remove  hence,"  etc.  Luke  17:6  (§  100),  "  If  ye  had  faith  as  a  grain  of

Matt.  13:36-43. 

Then  lie  left  the  multitudes,  and  went  into  the  house: 
and  his  disciples  came  unto  him,  saying,  Explain  unto  us 
the  parable  of  the  tares  of  the  field.  And  he  answered 
and  said,  He  that  soweth  the  good  seed  is  the  Son  of 
man;  and  ^the  field  is  the  world;  and  the  good  seed, 
these  are  the  sons  of  the  kingdom;  and  the  tares  are  Athe 
sons  of  the  evil  one;  and  the  enemy  that  sowed  them  is 
the  devil:  and  'the  harvest  is  the  end  of  the  world;  and 
the  reapers  are  angels.  As  therefore  the  tares  are  gath- 
ered up  and  burned  with  fire,  so  shall  it  be  in  the  end  of 
the  world.  The  Son  of  man  shall  send  forth  his  angels, 
and  xthey  shall  gather  out  of  his  kingdom  all  things  that 
cause  stumbling,  and  them  that  do  iniquity,  and  'shall  cast

Matt.  13:44- 

The  kingdom  of  heaven  is  like  unto  a  treasure  hidden 
in  the  field;  which  a  man  found,  and  hid;  and  in  his  joy 
he  goeth  and  °selleth  all  that  he  hath,  and  ^buyeth  that

Again,  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  like  unto  a  man  that 
is  a  merchant  seeking  goodly  pearls:  and  having  found 
Jone  pearl  of  great  price,  he  went  and  sold  all  that  he  had,

THE    NET  AND    THE    FISHES.      THE    END   OF   THE   WORLD. 
Matt.  13:47-53. 

Again,  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  like  unto  a  net  [Marg., 
Gr.  "  drag-net,11]  that  was  cast  into  the  sea,  and  gathered  rof 
every  kind:  which,  when  it  was  filled,  they  drew  up  on  the 
beach;  and  they  sat  down,  and  gathered  the  good  into 
vessels,  but  the  bad  they  cast  away.  So  shall  it  be  in  the 
end  of  the  world:  the  angels  shall  come  forth,  and  "sever 
the  wicked  from  among  the  righteous,  and  shall  cast  them 
into  the  furnace  of  fire;  there  shall  be  the  weeping  and 
gnashing  of  teeth.

him  up  at  the  last  day.  For  my  flesh  is  meat  indeed 
[Marg.,  Gr.,  "true  meat "],  and  my  blood  is  drink  indeed  [Marg., 
Gr.,  "tme  drink"].  yHe  that  eateth  my  flesh  and  drinketh  my 
blood  *abideth  in  me,  and  I  in  him.  As  the  living  Father 
sent  me,  and  I  live  because  of  the  Father;  so  he  that 
eateth  me,  he  also  shall  live  because  of  me.  This  is  the 
bread  that  came  down  out  of  heaven:  not  as  the  fathers 
did  eat,  and  died :  he  that  eateth  this  bread  shall  live  for 
ever.  These  things  said  he  in  the  synagogue,  as  he  taught 
in  Capernaum.

§63]  DISCOURSE   ON"   THE   BREAD   OE   LIFE.  157 

"Many  therefore  of  his  disciples,  when  they  heard  this, 
said,  This  is  a  hard  saying;  who  can  hear  it?  But  Jesus 
knowing  in  himself  that  his  disciples  murmured  at  this, 
said  unto  them,  Doth  this  cause  you  to  stumble?  bWhat 
then  if  ye  should  behold  the  Son  of  man  ascending  where 
he  was  before?  It  cis  the  spirit  that  quickeneth;  the  flesh 
profiteth  nothing:  the  words  that  I  have  spoken  unto  you 
are  spirit,  and  are  life.  But  there  are  some  of  you  that 
believe  not.  rfFor  Jesus  knew  from  the  beginning  who 
they  were  that  believed  not,  and  who  it  was  that  should 
betray  him.  And  he  said,  For  this  cause  have  I  said  unto 
you,  that  no  man  can  come  unto  me,  except  it  be  given 
unto  him  of  the  Father. 

Upon  this  many  of  his  disciples  went  back,  and  walked 
no  more  with  him.  Jesus  said  therefore  unto  the  twelve, 
Would  ye  also  go  away?  Simon  Peter  answered  him, 
Lord,  to  whom  shall  we  go?  thou  hast  'the  words  of 
eternal  life.  fAn&  we  have  believed  and  know  that  thou 
art  the  Holy  One  of  God.  Jesus  answered  them,  <Did 
not  I  choose  you  the  twelve,  and  Aone  of  you  is  a  devil? 
Now  he  spake  of  Judas,  the  son  of  Simon  Iscariot,  for  he 
it  was  that  should  betray  him,  being  one  of  the  twelve. 

And  after  these  things  Jesus  walked  in  Galilee:  for  he 
would  not  walk  in  Judsea,  because  the  Jews  'sought  to  kill 
him.

think  ye?  cIf  any  man  have  a  hundred  sheep,  and  one  of

nine,  and  go  unto  the  mountains,  and  seek  that  which 
goeth  astray?  And  if  so  be  that  he  find  it,  verily  I  say

my  brother  sin  against  me,  and  I  forgive  him?  *until 
seven  times?  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  I  say  not  unto  thee, 
Until  seven  times;  but,  'Until  seventy  times  seven.  There 
fore  is  the  kingdom  of  heaven  likened  unto  a  certain  king, 
who  would  make  a  reckoning  with  his  servants.  And 
when  he  had  begun  to  reckon,  one  was  brought  unto  him 
who  owed  him  ten  thousand  Halents  [Marg.,  This  talent  was 
probably  worth  about  $1,161].  But  forasmuch  as  he  had  not 
wherewith  to  pay,  his  lord  commanded  him  'to  be  sold, 
and  his  wife,  and  children,  and  all  that  he  had,  and  pay- 
ment to  be  made.  The  servant  therefore  fell  down  and 
worshipped  him,  saying,  Lord,  have  patience  with  me,  and 
I  will  pay  thee  all.  And  the  lord  of  that  servant,  being 
moved  with  compassion,  released  him,  and  forgave  him 
the  debt  [Marg.,  Gr.,  "loan,,].  But  that  servant  went  out, 
and  found  one  of  his  fellow-servants,  who  owed  him  a 

hundred  ^Shillings  [Marg.,  about  eight  pence  half -penny]  :    and  he 

laid  hold  on  him,  and  took  him  by  the  throat,  saying, 
Pay  what  thou  owest.  So  his  fellow-servant  fell  down 
and  besought  him,  saying,  Have  patience  with  me,  and  I 
will  pay  thee.  And  he  would  not:  but  went  and  cast  him 
into  prison,  till  he  should  pay  that  which  was  due.  So 
when  his  fellow-servants  saw  what  was  done,  they  were 
exceeding  sorry,  and  came  and  told  unto  their  lord  all 
that  was  done.  Then  his  lord  called  him  unto  him,  and 
saith  to  him,  Thou  wicked  servant,  I  forgave  thee  all  that 
debt,  because  thou  besoughtest  me:  shouldest  not  thou 
also  have  had  mercy  on  thy  fellow-servant,  even  as  I  had 
mercy  on  thee?  And  his  lord  was  wroth,  and  delivered 
him  to  the  tormentors,  till  he  should  pay  all  that  was  due.

Depart  hence,  and  go  into  Judaea,  that  thy  disciples  also 
may  behold  thy  works  which  thou  doest.  For  no  man 
doeth  anything  in  secret,  and  himself  seeketh  to  be  known 
openly.  If  thou  doest  these  things,  manifest  thyself  to 
the  world.  cFor  even  his  brethren  did  not  believe  on  him. 
Jesus  therefore  saith  unto  them,  ^My  time  is  not  yet 
come;  but  your  time  is  alway  ready.  "The  world  cannot

§80]  TEN   LEPERS   CLEANSED.  185 

there  met  him  ten  men  that  were  lepers,  "who  stood  afar 
off:  and  they  lifted  up  their  voices,  saying,  Jesus,  Master, 
have  mercy  on  us.  And  when  he  saw  them,  he  said  unto 
them,  *Go  and  shew  yourselves  unto  the  priests.  And  it 
came  to  pass,  as  they  went,  they  were  cleansed.  And  one 
of  them,  when  he  saw  that  he  was  healed,  turned  back, 
with  a  loud  voice  glorifying  God;  and  he  fell  upon  his  face 
at  his  feet,  giving  him  thanks:  and  he  was  a  Samaritan. 
And  Jesus  answering  said,  Were  not  the  ten  cleansed?  but 
where  are  the  nine?  Were  there  none  found  that  returned 
to  give  glory  to  God,  save  this  stranger?  And  he  said 
unto  him,  Arise,  and  cgo  thy  way,  thy  faith  hath  made 
thee  whole.

PAET  VI. 

FROM  THE  FEAST  OF  TABERNACLES  TILL 

CHRIST'S  FINAL  ARRIVAL  AT 

BETHANY. 

Time — About  Six  Months. 
§81.     Jesus  at  the  Feast  of  Tabekkacles. 

Jerusalem,  Autumn,  A.D.  29.    {No.  54.) 
John  7:11-52. 

The  Jews,  therefore,  sought  him  at  the  feast,  and  said, 
Where  is  he?  And  there  was  much  murmuring  among 
the  multitudes  concerning  him:  some  said,  He  is  a  good 
man;  others  said,  Not  so,  but  he  leadeth  the  multitude 
astray.  Howbeit  no  man  spake  openly  of  him  for  fear  of 
the  Jews. 

But  when  it  was  now  the  midst  of  the  feast,  Jesus  went 
up  into  the  temple,  and  taught.  The  Jews  therefore 
marvelled,  saying,  How  knoweth  this  man  letters,  having 
never  learned?  Jesus  therefore  answered  them,  and  said, 
"My  teaching  is  not  mine,  but  his  that  sent  me.  If  any 
man  willeth  to  do  his  will,  he  shall  know  of  the  teaching, 
whether  it  is  of  God,  or  ivhether  I  speak  from  myself.  He 
that  speaketh  from  himself  seeketh  his  own  glory:  but  he 
that  seeketh  the  glory  of  him  that  sent  him,  the  same  is 
true,  and  no  unrighteousness  is  in  him.  Did  not  Moses 
give  you  the  law,  and  yet  none  of  you  doeth  the  law? 

a  John  8:28  (§  83) ;  12:49  (§  125)  and  14:10,  24  (§  136a),  "  The  word  which  ye 
hear  is  not  mine,  but  the  Father's  who  sent  me."

§81]  AT  THE   FEAST   OF   TABERNACLES.  18? 

Why  seek  ye  to  kill  me?  The  multitude  answered,  *Thou 
hast  a  demon:  who  seeketh  to  kill  thee?  Jesus  answered 
and  said  unto  them,  I  did  one  work,  and  ye  all  marvel 
because  thereof.  c Moses  hath  given  you  circumcision  (not 
that  it  is  of  Moses,  but  rfof  the  fathers) ;  and  on  the  sab- 
bath ye  circumcise  a  man.  If  a  man  receiveth  circum- 
cision on  the  sabbath,  that  the  law  of  Moses  may  not  be 
broken;  are  ye  wroth  with  me,  "because  I  made  a  man 
every  whit  whole  on  the  sabbath?  f  Judge  not  according 
to  appearance,  but  judge  righteous  judgment. 

Some  therefore  of  them  of  Jerusalem  said,  Is  not  this 
he  whom  they  seek  to  kill?  And  lo,  he  speaketh  openly, 
and  they  say  nothing  unto  him.  Can  it  be  that  the  rulers 
indeed  know  that  this  is  the  Christ?  ^Howbeit  we  know 
this  man  whence  he  is:  but  when  the  Christ  cometh,  no 
one  knoweth  whence  he  is.  Jesus  therefore  cried  in  the 
temple,  teaching  and  saying,  Ye  both  know  me,  and  know 
whence  I  am;  and  I  am  not  come  of  myself,  but  he  that 
sent  me  is  true,  whom  ye  know  not.  I  know  him;  because 
I  am  from  him,  and  he  sent  me.  They  sought  therefore 
to  take  him;  and  no  man  laid  his  hand  on  him,  because 
his  hour  was  not  yet  come.  But  of  the  multitude  many 
believed  on  him;  and  they  said,  When  the  Christ  shall 
come,  will  he  do  more  signs  than  those  which  this  man 
hath  done?  The  Pharisees  heard  the  multitude  murmur- 
ing these  things  concerning  him;  and  the  chief  priests 
and  the  Pharisees  sent  officers  to  take  him.  Jesus  there- 
fore said,  AYet  a  little  while  am  I  with  you,  and  I  go  unto

we  shall  not  find  him?  will  he  go  unto  'the  Dispersion

Now  on  *the  last  day,  the  great  day  of  the  feast,  Jesus 
stood  and  cried,  saying,  'If  any  man  thirst,  let  him  come 
unto  me,  and  drink.  He  that  believeth  on  me,  as  the 
scripture  hath  said,  r"from  within  him  shall  flow  rivers  of

that  believed  on  him  were  to  receive:  for  the  Spirit  was 
not  yet  given;  because  Jesus  was  not  yet  "glorified.  Some 
of  the  multitude  therefore,  when  they  heard  these  words, 
said,  This  is  of  a  truth  ?the  prophet.  Others  said,  This  is

judge,  my  judgment  is  true;  for  I  am  not  alone,  but  I  and

ten, that  the  witness  of  two  men  is  true.  I  am 
he  that  beareth  witness  of  myself,  and  the  Father  that 
sent  me  beareth  witness  of  me.  They  said  therefore  unto 
him,  "Where  is  thy  Father?  Jesus  answered,  Ye  know 
neither  me,  nor  my  Father:  if  ye  knew  me,  ye  would 
know  my  Father  also.  These  words  spake  he  fin  the

fore unto  you,  that  ye  shall  die  in  your  sins:  for  'except 
ye  believe  that  I  am  he,  ye  shall  die  in  your  sins.  They

concerning  you:  howbeit  he  that  sent  me  is  true;  and  the

ham's seed,  and  have  never  yet  been  in  bondage  to  any 
man:  how  sayest  thou,  Ye  shall  be  made  free?  Jesus 
answered  them,  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  'Every  one 
that  committeth  sin  is  the  bondservant  of  sin.  "And 
the  bondservant  abideth  not  in  the  house  forever:  the  son 
abideth  forever.  If  therefore  the  Son  shall  make  you  free, 
ye  shall  be  free  indeed.  I  know  that  ye  are  Abraham's 
seed;  yet  ye  seek  to  kill  me,  because  my  word  hath  not 
free  course  in  you.  I  speak  the  things  which  I  have  seen 
with  my  Father:  and  ye  also  do  the  things  which  ye  heard 
from  your  father.  They  answered  and  said  unto  him,

were  'Abraham's  children,  ye  would  do  the  works  of  Abra-

Why  do  ye  not  understand  my  speech?  Even  because  ye 
cannot  hear  my  word.  "Ye  are  of  your  father  the  devil, 
and  the  lusts  of  your  father  it  is  your  will  to  do.  He  was 
a  murderer  from  the  beginning,  and  "standeth  not  in  the 
truth,  because  there  is  no  truth  in  him.  When  he  speak- 
eth  a  lie,  he  speaketh  of  his  own:  for  he  is  a  liar,  and  the 
father  thereof.  But  because  I  say  the  truth,  ye  believe  me 
not.  Which  of  you  convicteth  me  of  sin?  If  I  say  truth, 
why  do  ye  not  believe  me?  He  that  is  of  God,  heareth 
the  words  of  God:  for  this  cause  ye  hear  them  not,  because 
ye  are  not  of  God.  The  Jews  answered  and  said  unto 
him,  Say  we  not  well  that  thou  art  a  Samaritan,  and  hast 
a  demon?  Jesus  answered,  I  have  not  a  demon;  but  I 
honour  my  Father,  and  ye  dishonour  me.  But  I  seek  not 
mine  own  glory:  there  is  one  that  seeketh  and  judgeth. 
Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  If  a  man  keep  my  word,  he 
shall  never  see  death.  The  Jews  said  unto  him,  Now  we 
know  that  thou  hast  a  demon.  Abraham  died,  and  the 
prophets;  and  thou  say  est,  If  a  man  keep  my  word,  he 
shall  never  taste  of  death.  Art  thou  greater  than  our 
father  Abraham,  who  died?  and  the  prophets  died :  whom 
makest  thou  thyself?  Jesus  answered,  If  I  glorify  myself, 
my  glory  is  nothing:  it  is  my  Father  that  glorifieth  me;  of 
whom  ye  say,  that  he  is  your  God;  and  ye  have  not  known 
him:  but  I  know  him;  and  if  I  should  say,  I  know  him 
not,  I  shall  be  like  unto  you,  a  liar:  but  I  know  him,  and 
keep  his  word.  wYour  father  Abraham  rejoiced  to  see  my

And  as  he  passed  by,  he  saw  a  man  blind  from  his 
birth.  And  his  disciples  asked  him,  saying,  Rabbi,  who 
did  sin,  this  man,  or  his  parents,  that  he  should  be  born 
blind?  Jesus  answered,  Neither  did  this  man  sin,  nor  his 
parents:  "but  that  the  works  of  God  should  be  made  mani- 
fest in  him.  4We  must  work  the  works  of  him  that  sent 
me,  while  it  is  day:  the  night  cometh,  when  no  man  can

eyes  with  the  clay,  and  said  unto  him,  Go,  wash  in  the 
pool  of  'Siloam  (which  is  by  interpretation,  Sent).  He 
went  away  therefore,  and  -^washed,  and  came  seeing.  The 
neighbours  therefore,  and  they  who  saw  him  aforetime, 
that  he  was  a  beggar,  said,  Is  not  this  he  that  sat  and

begged?  Others  said,  It  is  he:  others  said,  No,  but  he  is 
like  him.  He  said,  I  am  he.  They  said  therefore  unto 
him,  How  then  were  thine  eyes  opened?  He  answered, 
The  man  that  is  called  Jesus  made  clay,  and  anointed 
mine  eyes,  and  said  unto  me,  Go  to  Siloam,  and  wash:  so 
I  went  away  and  washed,  and  I  received  sight.  And  they 
said  unto  him,  Where  is  he?     He  saith,  I  know  not. 

They  bring  to  the  Pharisees  him  that  aforetime  was 
blind.  Now  it  was  the  sabbath  on  the  day  when  Jesus 
made  the  clay,  and  opened  his  eyes.  Again  therefore  the 
Pharisees  also  asked  him  how  he  received  his  sight.  And  he 
said  unto  them,  He  put  clay  upon  mine  eyes,  and  I  washed, 
and  do  see.  Some  therefore  of  the  Pharisees  said,  This 
man  is  not  from  G-od,  because  he  keepeth  not  the  sabbath. 
But  others  said,  How  can  a  man  that  is  a  sinner  do  such 
signs?  And  there  was  a  division  among  them.  They  say 
therefore  unto  the  blind  man  again,  What  sayest  thou  of 
him,  in  that  he  opened  thine  eyes?  And  he  said,  ^He  is  a 
prophet.  The  Jews  therefore  did  not  believe  concerning 
him,  that  he  had  been  blind,  and  had  received  his  sight, 
until  they  called  the  parents  of  him  that  had  received  his 
sight,  and  asked  them,  saying,  Is  this  your  son,  who  ye 
say  was  born  blind?  how  then  doth  he  now  see?  His 
parents  answered  and  said,  We  know  that  this  is  our  son, 
and  that  he  was  born  blind:  but  how  he  now  seeth,  we 
know  not;  or  who  opened  his  eyes,  we  know  not:  ask  him; 
he  is  of  age;  he  shall  speak  for  himself.  These  things 
said  his  parents,  because  Hhey  feared  the  Jews:  for  the 
Jews  had  agreed  already,  that  if  any  man  should  confess 
him  to  le  Christ,  he  should  be  'put  out  of  the  synagogue. 
Therefore  said  his  parents,  He  is  of  age;  ask  him.  So 
they  called  a  second  time  the  man  that  was  blind,  and  said 
unto  him,  Give  glory  to  God:  we  know  that  this  man  is  a

sinner.  He  therefore  answered,  Whether  he  is  a  sinner,  I 
know  not:  one  thing  I  know,  that,  whereas  I  was  blind, 
now  I  see.  They  said  therefore  unto  him,  What  did  he  to 
thee  ?  how  opened  he  thine  eyes  ?  He  answered  them, 
I  told  you  even  now,  and  ye  did  not  hear:  wherefore 
would  ye  hear  it  again?  Would  ye  also  become  his  dis- 
ciples? And  they  reviled  him,  and  said,  Thou  art  his 
disciple;  but  we  are  disciples  of  Moses.  We  know  that 
God  hath  spoken  unto  Moses:  but  as  for  this  man,  we 
know  not  whence  he  is.  The  man  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  Why,  herein  is  the  marvel,  that  ye  know  not  whence 
he  is,  and  yet  he  opened  mine  eyes.  *We  know  that  God 
heareth  not  sinners:  but  if  any  man  be  a  worshipper  of 
God,  and  do  his  will,  him  he  heareth.  Since  the  world 
began  it  was  never  heard  that  any  one  opened  the  eyes  of 
a  man  born  blind.  If  this  man  were  not  from  God,  he 
could  do  nothing.  They  answered  and  said  unto  him, 
Thou  wast  altogether  born  in  sins,  and  dost  thou  teach  us? 
And  they  cast  him  out. 

Jesus  heard  that  they  had  cast  him  out;  and  finding 
him,  he  said,  Dost  thou  believe  on  the  'Son  of  God?  He 
answered  and  said,  And  who  is  he,  Lord,  that  I  may 
believe  on  him?  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Thou  hast  both 
seen  him,  and  whe  it  is  that  speaketh  with  thee.  And  he 
said,  Lord,  I  believe.  And  he  worshipped  him.  And 
Jesus  said,  MFor  judgment  came  I  into  this  world,  that 
"they  who  see  not  may  see;  and  that  they  who  see  may 
become  blind.  Those  of  the  Pharisees  that  were  with  him 
heard  these  things,  and  said  unto  him,  *Are  we  also  blind?

§84]  CHRIST   THE   SHEPHERD.  197 

Jesus  said  unto  them,  ?If  ye  were  blind,  ye  would  have  no 
sin;  but  now  ye  say,  We  see:  your  sin  remaineth. 

;       CHRIST   THE   SHEPHERD. 

Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  he  that  entereth  not  by 
the  door  into  the  fold  of  the  sheep,  but  climbeth  up  some 
other  way,  the  same  is  a  thief  and  a  robber.  But  he  that 
entereth  in  by  the  door  is  the  shepherd  of  the  sheep.  To 
him  the  porter  openeth;  and  the  sheep  hear  his  voice:  and 
he  calleth  his  own  sheep  by  name,  and  leadeth  them  out. 
When  he  hath  put  forth  all  his  own,  he  goeth  before 
them,  and  the  sheep  follow  him :  for  they  know  his  voice. 
And  a  stranger  will  they  not  follow,  but  will  flee  from 
him:  for  they  know  not  the  voice  of  strangers.  This 
parable  spake  Jesus  unto  them:  but  they  understood  not 
what  things  they  were  which  he  spake  unto  them. 

Jesus  therefore  said  unto  them  again,  Verily,  verily,  I 
say  unto  you,  I  am  the  rdoor  of  the  sheep.  All  that  came 
before  me  are  thieves  and  robbers:  but  the  sheep  did  not 
hear  them.  I  am  the  door:  by  me  if  any  man  enter  in, 
he  shall  be  saved,  and  shall  go  in  and  go  out,  and  shall 
find  pasture.  The  thief  cometh  not,  but  that  he  may 
steal,  and  kill,  and  destroy:  I  came  that  they  may  have  life, 
and  may  have  it  abundantly.  I  am  the  8good  shepherd: 
the  good  shepherd  layeth  down  his  life  for  the  sheep. 
He  that  is  a  hireling,  and  not  a  shepherd,  whose  own  the 
sheep  are  not,  beholdeth  the  wolf  coming,  and  'leaveth

Luke  10:35-37. 

And  behold,  a  certain  "lawyer  stood  up  and  tried  him, 
saying,  Master,  what  shall  I  do  to  ^inherit  eternal  life? 
And  he  said  unto  him,  What  is  written  in  the  law?  how 
readest  thou?  cAnd  he  answering  said,  Thou  shalt 
love  the  Lord  thy  God  with  all  thy  heart,  and 
with  all  thy  soul,  and  with  all  thy  strength,  and 
with  all  thy  mind;  rfand  thy  neighbour  as  thyself. 
And  he  said  unto  him,  Thou  hast  answered  right:  this 
do,  and  'thou  shalt  live.  But  he,  desiring  to  justify 
himself,  said  unto  Jesus,  And  who  is  my  neighbour? 
Jesus  made  answer  and  said,  A  certain  man  was  going 
down  from  Jerusalem  to  Jericho;  and  he  fell  among  rob- 
bers, who  both  stripped  him  and  beat  him,  and  departed, 
leaving  him  half  dead.  And  by  chance  a  certain  priest 
was  going  down  that  way:  and  when  he  saw  him,  he 
passed  by  on  the  other  side.  And  in  like  manner  a  Levite 
also,  when  he  came  to  the  place,  and  saw  him,  passed  by 
on  the  other  side.  But  a  certain  •'Samaritan,  as  he  jour-

Mary,  who  also  had  6sat  at  the  Lord's  feet,  and  heard  his 
word.  But  Martha  was  cumbered  [Marg.,  Gr.,  "distracted"] 
about  much  serving;  and  she  came  up  to  him,  and  said, 
Lord,  dost  thou  not  care  that  my  sister  did  leave  me  to 
serve  alone?  bid  her  therefore  that  she  help  me.  But  the 
Lord  answered,  and  said  unto  her,  Martha,  Martha,  thou 
art  anxious  and  troubled  about  many  things:  but  one 
thing  is  needful:  for  Mary  hath  chosen  the  good  part, 
which  shall  not  be  taken  away  from  her.

Lord  said  unto  him,  Now  do  ye  Pharisees  *  cleanse  the  out-

behold,  all  things  are  clean  unto  you.

And  one  of  the  lawyers  answering  saith  unto  him, 
Master,  in  saying  this  thou  reproachest  us  also.  And  he 
said,  Woe  unto  you  lawyers  also!  for  ye  lade  men  with 
burdens  grievous  to  be  borne,  and  ye  yourselves  touch  not 
the  burdens  with  one  of  your  fingers.  Woe  unto  you !  for 
ye  build  the  tombs  of  the  prophets,  and  your  fathers  killed 
them.  So  ye  are  witnesses  and  consent  unto  the  works  of 
your  fathers:  for  they  killed  them,  and  ye  build  their 
tombs.  Therefore  also  said  the  wisdom  of  God,  I  will  send 
unto  them  prophets  and  apostles;  and  some  of  them  they 
shall  kill  and  persecute;  that  the  blood  of  all  the  prophets, 
which  was  shed  from  the  foundation  of  the  world,  may  be 
required  of  this  generation;  from  the  8blood  of  Abel  unto

could  in  no  wise  lift  herself  up.  And  when  Jesus  saw  her,

thine  infirmity.  And  he  laid  his  hands  upon  her:  and  im-

Many  good  works  have  I  shewed  you  from  the  Father; 
for  which  of  those  works  do  ye  stone  me?  The  Jews 
answered  him,  For  a  good  work  we  stone  thee  not,  but  for 
blasphemy;  and  because  that  thou,  being  a  man,  ^makest 
thyself  God.  Jesus  answered  them,  Is  it  not  written  in 
your  law,  hI  said,  Ye  are  gods?  If  he  called  them 
gods,  *unto  whom  the  word  of  God  came  (and  the  scripture

do  them,  though  ye  believe  not  me,  believe  the  works:

§96.  Jesus  dines  with  a  Pharisee  on  the  Sabbath. 
Heals  a  man  with  dropsy.  Parable  of  the 
Great  Supper. 

Perea.    {No.  60.) 
Luke  14:1-24. 

And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  went  into  the  house  of 
one  of  the  rulers  of  the  Pharisees  on  a  sabbath  to  eat 
bread,  that  they  were  watching  him.  And  behold,  there 
was  before  him  a  certain  man  who  had  the  dropsy.  And 
Jesus  answering  spake  unto  the  lawyers  and  Pharisees, 
saying,  aIs  it  lawful  to  heal  on  the  sabbath,  or  not?  But 
they  held  their  peace.  And  he  took  him,  and  healed  him, 
and  let  him  go.  And  he  said  unto  them,  Which  of  you 
shall  have  an  ass  or  an  ox  fallen  into  a  well,  and  will  not 
straightway  draw  him  up  on  a  sabbath  day?  And  they 
could  not  answer  again  unto  these  things. 

And  he  spake  a  parable  unto  those  that  were  bidden, 
when  he  marked  how  they  chose  out  the  chief  seats; 
saying  unto  them,  ''When  thou  art  bidden  of  any  man  to  a 
marriage  feast,  sit  not  down  in  the  chief  seat;  lest  haply 
a  more  honourable  man  than  thou  be  bidden  of  him,  and 
he  that  bade  thee  and  him  shall  come  and  say  to  thee,  Give 
this  man  place:  and  then  thou  shalt  begin  with  shame  to 
take  the  lowest  place.  But  when  thou  art  bidden,  go  and 
sit  down  in  the  lowest  place;  that  when  he  that  hath  bid- 
den thee  cometh,  he  may  say  to  thee,  Friend,  go  up  higher; 
then  shalt  thou  have  glory  in  the  presence  of  all  that  sit

exalted. 

And  he  said  to  him  also  that  had  bidden  him,  When 
thou  makest  a  dinner  or  a  supper,  call  not  thy  friends,  nor 
thy  brethren,  nor  thy  kinsmen,  nor  rich  neighbours;  lest 
haply  they  also  bid  thee  again,  and  a  recompense  be  made 
thee.  But  when  thou  makest  a  feast,  bid  the  poor,  the 
maimed,  the  lame,  the  blind:  and  thou  shalt  be  blessed  be- 
cause they  have  not  wherewith  to  recompense  thee:  for 
thou  shalt  be  recompensed  in  the  resurrection  of  the  just. 

And  when  one  of  them  that  sat  at  meat  with  him  heard 
these  things,  he  said  unto  him,  ''Blessed  is  he  that  shall 
eat  bread  in  the  kingdom  of  God.  But  he  said  unto  him, 
eA  certain  man  made  a  great  supper:  and  he  bade  many: 
and  he  sent  forth  his  servant  at  supper  time  to  say  to  them 
that  were  bidden,  Come:  for  all  things  are  now  ready. 
And  they  all  with  one  consent  began  to  make  excuse.  The 
first  said  unto  him,  I  have  bought  a  field,  and  I  must 
needs  go  out  and  see  it:  I  pray  thee  have  me  excused. 
And  another  said,  I  have  bought  five  yoke  of  oxen,  and  I 
go  to  prove  them:  I  pray  thee  have  me  excused.  And 
another  said,  I  have  married  a  wife,  and  therefore  I  cannot 
come.  And  the  servant  came,  and  told  his  lord  these 
things.  Then  the  master  of  the  house  being  angry  said 
to  his  servant,  Go  out  quickly  into  the  streets  and  lanes  of 
the  city,  and  bring  in  hither  the  poor  and  maimed  and  blind 
and  lame.  And  the  servant  said,  Lord,  what  thou  didst 
command  is  done,  and  yet  there  is  room.  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  the  servant,  Go  out  into  the  highways  and  hedges, 
and  constrain  them  to  come  in,  that  my  house  may  be  filled.

Now  there  went  with  him  great  multitudes:  and  he

wherewith  to  complete  it?  Lest  haply,  when  he  hath  laid 
a  foundation,  and  is  not  able  to  finish,  all  that  behold 
begin  to  mock  him,  saying,  This  man  began  to  build,  and 
was  not  able  to  finish.  Or  what  king,  as  he  goeth  to 
encounter  another  king  in  war,  will  not  sit  down  first  and

else,  while  the  other  is  yet  a  great  way  off,  he  sendeth  an

younger  of  them  said  to  his  father,  Father,  give  me  the 
portion  of  thy  [Marg.,  Gr.,  "  the  "]  substance  that  falleth  to  me. 
And  he  divided  unto  them  his  living.  And  not  many  days 
after  the  younger  son  gathered  all  together,  and  took  his 
journey  into  a  far  country;  and  there  he  wasted  his  sub- 
stance with  riotous  living.  And  when  he  had  spent  all, 
there  arose  a  mighty  famine  in  that  country;  and  he  began 
to  be  in  want.  And  he  went  and  joined  himself  to  one  of 
the  citizens  of  that  country;  and  he  sent  him  into  his 
fields  to  feed  swine.     And  he  would  fain  have  filled  his 

belly  With    the    husks  [Marg.,  Gr.,  "  the   pods   of   the   carob  tree  M] 

that  the  swine  did  eat:  and  no  man  gave  unto  him.  But 
when  he  came  to  himself  he  said,  How  many  hired  serv- 
ants of  my  father's  have  bread  enough  and  to  spare,  and  I 
perish  here  with  hunger!  I  will  arise  and  go  to  my  father,

eat,  and  make  merry:  for  this  7my  son  was  dead,  and  is

to  be  merry.  Now  his  elder  son  was  in  the  field:  and  as 
he  came  and  drew  nigh  to  the  house,  he  heard  music  and 
dancing.  And  he  called  to  him  one  of  the  servants,  and 
inquired  what  these  things  might  be.  And  he  said  unto 
him,  Thy  brother  has  come;  and  thy  father  hath  killed  the

But  he  was  angry,  and  would  not  go  in:  and  his  father

to  his  father,  Lo,  these  many  years  do  I  serve  thee,  and  I 
never  transgressed  a  commandment  of  thine:  and  yet  thou 
never  gavest  me  a  kid,  that  I  might  make  merry  with  my 
friends:  but  when  this  thy  son  came,  who  hath  devoured 
thy  living  with  harlots,  thou  killedst  for  him  the  fatted 
calf.  And  he  said  unto  him,  Son  [Marg.,  Gr.,  "child"],  thou 
art  ever  with  me,  and  all  that  is  mine  is  thine.  But  it 
was  meet  to  make  merry  and  be  glad:  for  this  thy  brother

full  of  sores,  and  desiring  to  be  fed  with  the  crumbs  that 
fell  from  the  rich  man's  table;  yea,  even  the  dogs  came 
and  licked  his  sores.  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  the  beg- 
gar died,  and  that  he  was  carried  away  by  the  angels  into 
Abraham's  bosom:  and  the  rich  man  also  died,  and  was 
buried.  And  in  Hades  he  lifted  up  his  eyes,  being  in  tor-

of  his  finger  in  water,  and  cool  my  tongue;  for  aI  am  in

this,  between  us  and  you  there  is  a  great  gulf  fixed,  that 
they  who  would  pass  from  hence  to  you  may  not  be  able, 
and  that  none  may  cross  over  from  thence  to  us.  And 
he  said,  I  pray  thee  therefore,  father,  that  thou  wouldest 
send  him  to  my  father's  house;  for  I  have  five  brethren; 
that  he  may  testify  unto  them,  lest  they  also  come  into 
this  place  of  torment.  But  Abraham  saith,  They  have 
cMoses  and  the  prophets;  let  them  hear  them.  And  he 
said,  Nay,  father  Abraham:  but  if  one  go  to  them  from 
the  dead,  they  will  repent.  And  he  said  unto  him,  If

John  11:1-54. 

Now  a  certain  man  was  sick,  Lazarus  of  Bethany,  of 
the  village  of  "Mary  and  her  sister  Martha.  And  it  was 
Hhat  Mary  who  anointed  the  Lord  with  ointment,  and 
wiped  his  feet  with  her  hair,  whose  brother  Lazarus  was 
sick.  The  sisters  therefore  sent  unto  him,  saying,  Lord, 
behold,  he  whom  thou  lovest  is  sick.  But  when  Jesus 
heard  it,  he  said,  This  sickness  is  not  unto  death,  but  cfor 
the  glory  of  God,  that  the  Son  of  God  may  be  glorified 
thereby.  Now  Jesus  loved  Martha,  and  her  sister,  and 
Lazarus.  When  therefore  he  heard  that  he  was  sick,  he 
abode  at  that  time  two  days  in  the  place  where  he  was. 
Then  after  this  he  saith  to  the  disciples,  Let  us  go  into 
Judaea  again.  The  disciples  say  unto  him,  Eabbi,  the 
Jews  were  but  now  seeking  to  stone  thee;  and  goest  thou 
thither  again?  Jesus  answered,  Are  there  not  twelve 
hours  in  the  day?  dIi  a  man  walk  in  the  day,  he  stum- 
bleth  not,  because  he  seeth  the  light  of  this  world.  But 
if  a  man  'walk  in  the  night,  he  stumbleth,  because  the 
light  is  not  in  him.     These  things  spake  he:  and  after

this  he  saith  unto  them,  Our  friend  Lazarus  is  fallen 
•'asleep;  but  I  go,  that  I  may  awake  him  out  of  sleep. 
The  disciples  therefore  said  unto  him,  Lord,  if  he  is  fallen 
asleep,  he  will  recover.  Now  Jesus  had  spoken  of  his 
death:  but  they  thought  that  he  spake  of  taking  rest  in 
sleep.  Then  Jesus  therefore  said  unto  them  plainly, 
Lazarus  is  dead.  And  I  am  glad  for  your  sakes  that  I  was 
not  there,  to  the  intent  ye  may  believe;  nevertheless  let 
us  go  unto  him.  Thomas  therefore,  who  is  called  Didy- 
mus  [Marg.,  that  is,  "Twin"],  said  unto  his  fellow-disciples, 
Let  us  go,  that  we  may  die  with  him. 

So  when  Jesus  came,  he  found  that  he  had  been  in  the 
tomb  four  days  already.  Now  Bethany  was  nigh  unto 
Jerusalem,  about  ^fifteen  furlongs  off;  and  many  of  the 
Jews  had  come  to  Martha  and  Mary,  to  console  them  con- 
cerning their  brother.  Martha  therefore,  when  she  heard 
that  Jesus  was  coming,  went  and  met  him:  but  Mary  still 
sat  in  the  house.  Martha  therefore  said  unto  Jesus,  Lord, 
if  thou  hadst  been  here,  my  brother  had  not  died.  And 
even  now  I  know  that,  whatsoever  thou  shalt  ask  of  God, 
God  will  give  thee.  Jesus  saith  unto  her,  Thy  brother 
shall  rise  again.  Martha  saith  unto  him,  I  know  that  he 
shall  rise  again  *in  the  resurrection  at  the  last  day.  Jesus 
said  unto  her,  *I  am  the  resurrection,  and  *the  life:  he  that 
believeth  on  me,  though  he  die,  yet  shall  he  live:  and 
whosoever  liveth  and  believeth  on  me  shall  never  die. 
Believest  thou  this?    She  saith  unto  him,  Yea,  Lord:  I

have  believed  that  'thou  art  the  Christ,  the  Son  of  God, 
even  he  that  cometh  into  the  world.  And  when  she  had 
said  this,  she  went  away,  and  called  Mary  her  sister 
secretly,  saying,  The  Master  is  here,  and  calleth  thee. 
And  she,  when  she  heard  it,  arose  quickly,  and  went  unto 
him.  (Now  Jesus  was  not  yet  come  into  the  village,  but 
was  still  in  the  place  where  Martha  met  him.)  The  Jews 
then  who  were  with  her  in  the  house,  and  were  comforting 
her,  when  they  saw  Mary,  that  she  rose  up  quickly  and 
went  out,  followed  her,  supposing  that  she  was  going  unto 
the  tomb  to  weep  there.  Mary  therefore,  when  she  came 
where  Jesus  was,  and  saw  him,  fell  down  at  his  feet,  say- 
ing unto  him,  Lord,  if  thou  hadst  been  here,  my  brother 
had  not  died.  When  Jesus  therefore  saw  her  weeping, 
and  the  Jews  also  weeping  who  came  with  her,  he  groaned 
in  the  spirit,  and  was  troubled,  and  said,  Where  have  ye 
laid  him?  They  say  unto  him,  Lord,  come  and  see. 
m Jesus  wept.  The  Jews  therefore  said,  Behold  how  he 
loved  him!  But  some  of  them  said,  Could  not  this  man, 
who  opened  the  eyes  of  him  wthat  was  blind,  have  caused 
that  this  man  also  should  not  die?  Jesus  therefore  again 
groaning  in  himself,  cometh  to  the  tomb.  Now  it  was  a 
cave,  and  a  stone  lay  against  [Marg.,  or,  "upon"]  it.  Jesus 
saith,  Take  ye  away  the  stone.  Martha,  the  sister  of  him 
that  was  dead,  saith  unto  him,  Lord,  by  this  time  he 
stinketh:  for  he  hath  been  dead  four  days.  Jesus  saith 
unto  her,  Said  I  not  unto  thee,  that,  if  thou  believedst, 
thou  shouldest  see  "the  glory  of  God  ?  So  they  took  away 
the  stone.  And  Jesus  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  said,  Father, 
I  thank  thee  that  thou  heardest  me.     And  I  knew  that

which  staudeth  around  I  said  it,  that  they  may  believe 
that  thou  didst  send  me.  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken, 
he  cried  with  a  loud  voice,  Lazarus,  come  forth.  He  that 
was  dead  came  forth,  bound  hand  and  foot  with  grave- 
clothes;  and  his  face  was  bound  about  with  ^a  napkin. 
Jesus  saith  unto  them,  Loose  him,  and  let  him  go. 

?Many  therefore  of  the  Jews,  who  came  to  Mary  and 
beheld  that  which  he  did,  believed  on  him.  But  some  of 
them  went  away  to  the  Pharisees,  and  told  them  the  things 
which  Jesus  had  done. 

rThe  chief  priests  therefore  and  the  Pharisees  gathered 
a  council,  and  said,  sWhat  do  we?  for  this  man  doeth 
many  signs.  If  we  let  him  thus  alone,  all  men  will 
believe  on  him:  and  the  Eomans  will  come  and  take  away 
both  our  place  and  our  nation.  But  a  certain  one  of 
them,  'Caiaphas,  being  high  priest  that  year,  said  unto 
them,  Ye  know  nothing  at  all,  nor  do  ye  take  account  that 
it  is  expedient  for  you  that  one  man  should  die  for  the 
people,  and  that  the  whole  nation  perish  not.  Now  this 
he  said  not  of  himself:  but  being  high  priest  that  year,  he 
prophesied  that  Jesus  should  die  for  the  nation;  and  "not 
for  the  nation  only,  but  that  he  might  also  "gather  together 
into  one  the  children  of  God  that  are  scattered  abroad. 
So  from  that  day  forth  they  took  counsel  that  they  might 
put  him  to  death.

And  he  spake  a  parable  unto  them  to  the  end  that  they 
ought  "always  to  pray,  and  not  to  faint;  saying,  There  was 
in  a  city  a  judge,  who  feared  not  God,  and  regarded  not 
man:  and  there  was  a  widow  in  that  city;  and  she  came 
oft  unto  him,  saying,  Avenge  me  of  mine  adversary. 
And  he  would  not  for  a  while:  but  afterward  he  said 
within  himself,  Though  I  fear  not  God,  nor  regard  man: 
yet  because  this  widow  troubleth  me,  I  will  avenge  her, 
lest  she  wear  me  out  by  her  continual  coming.     And  the

Lord  said,  Hear  what  the  unrighteous  judge  saith.  And 
shall  not  God  6avenge  his  elect,  who  cry  to  him  day  and 
night,  and  yet  he  is  longsuffering  over  them?  I  say  unto 
you,  that  he  cwill  avenge  them  speedily.  Howbeit  when 
the  Son  of  man  cometh,  shall  he  find  faith  on  the  earth? 
And  he  spake  also  this  parable  unto  certain  who  trusted 
in  themselves  that  they  were  righteous,  and  set  all  others 
at  nought:  Two  men  went  up  into  the  temple  to  pray; 
the  one  a  Pharisee,  and  the  other  a  publican.  The  Phari- 
see stood  and  prayed  thus  with  himself:  dGod,  I  thank 
thee,  that  I  am  not  as  the  rest  of  men,  extortioners, 
unjust,  adulterers,  or  even  as  this  publican.  I  fast  twice 
in  the  week;  I  give  tithes  of  all  that  I  get.  But  the 
publican,  standing  afar  off,  would  not  lift  up  so  much 
as  his  eyes  unto  heaven,  but  smote  his  breast,  saying, 
God,  be  merciful  to  me  a  [Marg.,  or,  "the"]  sinner.  I  say 
unto  you,  This  man  went  down  to  his  house  justified

against  her:  and  if  she  herself  shall  put  away  her  husband,

And  he  entered  and  was  passing  through  Jericho.  And 
behold,  a  man  called  by  name  Zaccha3us;  and  he  was  a 
chief  publican,  and  he  was  rich.  And  he  sought  to  see 
Jesus  who  he  was;  and  could  not  for  the  crowd,  because 
he  was  little  of  stature.  And  he  ran  on  before,  and 
climbed  up  into  a  sycamore  tree  to  see  him:  for  he  was  to 
pass  that  way.  And  when  Jesus  came  to  the  place,  he 
looked  up,  and  said  unto  him,  Zacchaeus,  make  haste,  and 
come  down;  for  to-day  I  must  abide  at  thy  house.  And 
he  made  haste,  and  came  down,  and  received  him  joyfully. 
And  when  they  saw  it,  they  all  murmured,  saying,  aHe  is 
gone  in  to  lodge  with  a  man  that  is  a  sinner.  And  Zac- 
chaeus  stood,  and  said  unto  the  Lord,  Behold,  Lord,  the 
half  of  my  goods  I  give  to  the  poor;  and  if  I  have  6wrong- 
fully  exacted  aught  of  any  man,  I  restore  cfourfold.  And 
Jesus  said  unto  him,  To-day  is  salvation  come  to  this 
house,  forasmuch  as  dhe  also  is  ea  son  of  Abraham.  For 
the  'Son  of  man  came  to  seek  and  to  save  that  which  was

Near  Jerusalem.    {No.  67.) 

Some  good  authorities  deem  this  parable  to  be  the  same  as  that  of  the 
talents  recorded  in  Matt.  25:14-30  (§127). 

Luke  19:11-28. 

And  as  they  heard  these  things,  he  added  and  spake  a 
parable,  because  he  was  nigh  to  Jerusalem,  and  because 
they  supposed  that  athe  kingdom  of  God  was  immediately 
to  appear.  He  said  therefore,  bA  certain  nobleman  went 
into  a  far  country,  to  receive  for  himself  a  kingdom,  and 
to  return.     And  he  called  ten  servants  of  his,  and  gave 

them  ten  pounds  [Marg.      Mina,  here  translated  a  pound,  is  equal  to 

one  hundred  drachmas],  and  said  unto  them,  Trade  ye  herewith 
till  I  come.  But  chis  citizens  hated  him,  and  sent  an 
ambassage  after  him,  saying,  We  will  not  that  this  man 
reign  over  us.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  was  come  back 
again,  having  received  the  kingdom,  that  he  commanded 
these  servants,  unto  whom  he  had  given  the  money,  to  be 
called  to  him,  that  he  might  know  what  they  had  gained 
by  trading.  And  the  first  came  before  him,  saying,  Lord, 
thy  pound  hath  made  ten  pounds  more.  And  he  said  unto 
him,  Well  done,  thou  good  servant:  because  thou  wast 
^found  faithful  in  a  very  little,  have  thou  authority  over 
ten  cities.  And  the  second  came,  saying,  Thy  pound, 
Lord,  hath  made  five  pounds.  And  he  said  unto  him  also, 
Be  thou  also  over  five  cities.     And  another  came,  saying, 

a  Acts  1:6  [After  his  resurrection,  and  the  disciples  asked  him],  "Lord, 
dost  thou  at  this  time  restore  the  kingdom  to  Israel  ?  And  he  said  unto 
them,  It  is  not  for  you  to  know  times  or  seasons,  which  the  Father  hath 
set  within  his  own  authority." 

b  Mark  13:34  (§  126c),  "It  is  as  when  a  man,  sojourning  in  another  country, 
having  left  his  house,  and  given  authority  to  his  servants,  to  each  one  his 
work,  commanded  also  the  porter  to  watch."

Lord,  behold,  here  is  thy  pound,  which  I  kept  laid  up  in 
a  napkin:  for  I  feared  thee,  because  thou  art  an  austere 
man:  thou  takest  up  that  thou  layedst  not  down,  and 
reapest  that  thou  didst  not  sow.  He  saith  unto  him,  eOut 
of  thine  own  mouth  will  I  judge  thee,  thou  wicked  serv- 
ant. Thou  knewest  that  I  am  an  austere  man,  taking  up 
that  I  laid  not  down,  and  reaping  that  I  did  not  sow;  then 
wherefore  gavest  thou  not  my  money  into  the  bank,  and  I 
at  my  coming  should  have  required  it  with  interest?  And 
he  said  unto  them  that  stood  by,  Take  away  from  him  the 
pound,  and  give  it  unto  him  that  hath  the  ten  pounds. 
And  they  said  unto  him,  Lord,  he  hath  ten  pounds.  I  say 
unto  you,  that  unto  every  one  that  hath  shall  be  given; 
but  from  him  that  hath  not,  even  that  which  he  hath 
shall  be  taken  away  from  him.  Howbeit  these  mine  ene- 
mies, who  would  not  that  I  should  reign  over  them,  bring 
hither,  and  slay  them  before  me. 

And  when  he  had  thus  spoken,  he  went  on  before, 
going  up  to  Jerusalem.

went  up  to  Jerusalem  out  of  the  country  before  the  pass- 
over,  to  purify  themselves.     6They  sought  therefore  for

saying,  I  have  siain  the  Lord's  Anointed. "  Matt.  12:37  (§  50a),  "  For  by  thy 
words  thou  shalt  be  justified,  and  by  thy  words  thou  shalt  be  condemned."

Jesus,  and  spake  one  with  another,  as  they  stood  in  the 
temple,  What  think  ye?  That  he  will  not  come  to  the 
feast?  Now  the  chief  priests  and  the  Pharisees  had  given 
commandment,  that,  if  any  man  knew  where  he  was,  he 
should  shew  it,  that  they  might  take  him.  Jesus  there- 
fore six  days  before  the  passover  came  to  Bethany,  cwhere 
Lazarus  was,  whom  Jesus  raised  from  the  dead. 

'Now  when  Jesus  [2And  while  he]  ' 2was  din  Bethany,  in 
the  house  of  Simon  the  leper  [4so]  4they  made  him  a  sup- 
per there:  and  Martha  served;  but  Lazarus  was  one  of 
them  that  sat  at  meat  with  him.  2As  he  sat  at  meat, 
4Mary  therefore  2came  [' 2there  came  'unto  him  '  2a  woman]  '  hav- 
ing an  alabaster  Cruse  Of  [4tooka  pound  of ('exceeding)  precious]

['upon]  '  2his  head  ['as  he  sat  at  meat] :  4and  anointed  the  feet 
of  Jesus,  and  wiped  his  feet  with  her  hair:  and  the  house 
was  filled  with  the  odour  of  the  ointment.  '  2But  'when 
the  disciples  saw  it,  they  [2there  were  some  that]  '  2had  indig- 
nation 2among  themselves,  '  2saying,  To  what  purpose  2hath 
['is]  '  2this  waste  2of  the  ointment  been  made?  [4But] 
4Judas  Iscariot,  one  of  his  disciples,  who  should  betray  him, 
saith,  Why  was  not  [12For]  124this  ointment  ['  2might  have 
been]  sold  for  2above  24three  hundred  'shillings  ['much], 
' a  4and  given  to  the  poor.  4Now  this  he  said,  not  because 
he  cared  for  the  poor;  but  because  he  was  a  thief,  and 
having  the  •''bag  [Marg.,  or,  "  box »]  took  away  what  was  put 
therein.  aAnd  they  murmured  against  her.  '2But

4The  common  people  therefore  of  the  Jews  learned 
that  he  was  there:  and  they  came,  not  for  Jesus'  sake 
only,  but  that  they  might  see  Lazarus  also,  whom  he  had 
raised  from  the  dead.  But  the  chief  priests  took  counsel 
that  they  might  put  Lazarus  also  to  death;  because  that 
by  reason  of  him  many  of  the  Jews  went  away,  and  be- 
lieved on  Jesus.

therefore  said  among  themselves,  Behold  how*ye  prevail

David.  [3And]  '  3He  'saith  [3said]  '  3unto  them,  2  3How  say 
3the  scribes  [3they]  2  3that  the  Christ  is  2the  son  of  David

glorify  it  again.  The  multitude  therefore,  that  stood  by,

The  multitude  therefore  answered  him,  We  have  heard 
?out  of  the  law  that  the  Christ  abideth  for  ever;  and  how 
sayeth  thou,  The  Son  of  man  must  be  lifted  up?  who  is 
this  Son  of  man?  Jesus  therefore  said  unto  them,  Yet  a 
little  while  is  the  light  among  you.  sWalk  while  ye  have 
the  light,  that  darkness  overtake  you  not:  and  he  that 
walketh  in  the  darkness  knoweth  not  whither  he  goeth.

'become  sons  of  light.  These  things  spake  Jesus,  and  he

But  though  he  had  done  so  many  signs  before  them, 
yet  they  believed  not  on  him:  that  the  word  of  Isaiah  the 
prophet  might  be  fulfilled,  which  he  spake, 
"Lord,  who  hath  believed  our  report? 
And  to  whom  hath  the  arm  of  the  Lord  been  revealed  ? 
For  this  cause  they  could  not  believe,  for  that  Isaiah  said 
again, 

6He  hath  blinded  their  eyes,  and  he  hardened  their 

hearts; 
Lest  they  should  see  with  their  eyes,  and  perceive  with 

their  heart, 
And  should  turn, 
And  I  should  heal  them.

not  confess  it,  lest  they  should  be  put  out  of  the  syna-

of  the  Son  of  man.  For  as  in  those  days  which  were 
before  the  flood  they  were  eating  and  drinking,  marrying 
and  giving  in  marriage,  until  the  day  that  Noah  entered 
into  the  ark,  and  they  knew  not  until  the  flood  came,  and 
took  them  all  away;  so  shall  be  the  coming  of  the  Son  of 
man.  "Then  shall  two  men  be  in  the  field;  one  is  taken, 
and  one  is  left;  two  women  shall  be  grinding  at  the  mill;

doing.  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  that  he  'will  set  him  over

heart,  My  lord  tarrieth;  and  shall  begin  to  beat  his  fellow-

pounds  recorded  in  Luke  19:11-28.    (§  111.) 

For  it  is  as  when  a  man,  *going  into  another  country, 
called  his  own  servants,  and  delivered  unto  them  his  goods. 
And  unto  one  he  gave  five  talents,  to  another  two,  to 
another  one;  7to  each  according  to  his  several  ability;  and 
he  went  on  his  journey.  Straightway  he  that  received  the 
five  talents  went  and  traded  with  them,  and  made  other 
five  talents.  In  like  manner  he  also  that  received  the 
two  gained  other  two.     But  he  that  received  the  one  went

Now  after  a  long  time  the  lord  of  those  servants  cometh, 
and  maketh  a  reckoning  with  them.     And  he  that  received 
the  five  talents  came  and  brought  other  five  talents,  saying, 
Lord,  thou  deliveredst  unto  me  five  talents  :    lo,  I  have 
gained  other  five  talents.     His  lord  said  unto  him,  "Well 
done,  good  and  faithful  servant:  thou  hast  been  faithful 
over  a  few  things,  mI  will  set   thee  over  many   tilings: 
enter  thou  into  the  joy  of  thy  lord.     And  he  also  that

liveredst unto   me  two  talents  :   lo,  I  have  gained  other 
two  talents.     His  lord  said  unto  him,  Well  done,  good

few  things,  I  will  set  thee  over  many  things:  enter  thou 
into  the  joy  of  thy  lord.     And  he  also  that  had  received 
the  one  talent  came  and  said,  Lord,  I  knew  thee  that  thou 
art  a  hard  man,  reaping  where  thou  didst  not  sow,  and 
gathering  where  thou  didst  not  scatter:  and  I  was  afraid, 
and  went  away  and  hid  thy  talent  in  the  earth:  lo,  thou 
hast  thine  own.    But  his  lord  answered  and  said  unto  him, 
Thou  wicked  and  slothful  servant,  thou  knewest  that  I 
reap  where  I  sowed  not,  and  gather  where  I  did  not  scatter; 
thou  oughtest  therefore  to  have  put  my  money  to  the 
bankers,  and  at  my  coming  I  should  have  received  back 
mine  own    with  interest.     Take  ye  away  therefore  the 
talent  from  him,  and  give  it  unto  him  that  hath  the  ten 
talents.    For  unto  every  one  that  hath  shall  be  given,  and 
he  shall  have  abundance;  but  from  him  that  hath  not, 
even  that  which  he  hath  shall  be  taken  away.     And  cast 
ye  out  the  unprofitable  servant  into  the  outer  darkness: 
there  shall  be  the  weeping  and  gnashing  of  teeth.

well;  for  so  I  am.  If  I  then,  the  Lord  and  the  Master,

it  for  that  man  if  he  had  not  been  born.  /4There  was  at 
the  table  reclining  in  Jesus'  bosom  one  of  his  disciples, 
whom  Jesus  loved.  Simon  Peter  therefore  beckoneth  to 
him,  and  saith  unto  him,  Tell  us  who  it  is  of  whom  he 
speaketh.  He  leaning  back,  as  he  was,  on  Jesus'  breast 
saith  unto  him,  Lord,  who  is  it?  Jesus  therefore  answer- 
eth,  He  it  is,  for  whom  I  shall  dip  the  sop,  and  give  it 
him.  So  when  he  had  dipped  the  sop,  he  taketh  and  giv- 
eth  it  to  Judas,  the  son  of  Simon  Iscariot.  xAnd  Judas, 
who  betrayed  him,  answered  and  said,  Is  it  I,  Rabbi?  He 
saith  unto  him,  Thou  hast  said. 

4i7And  after  the  sop,  then  entered  Satan  into  him.  Jesus 
therefore  saith  unto  him,  That  thou  doest,  do  quickly. 
Now  no  man  at  the  table  knew  for  what  intent  he  spake 
this  unto  him.  For  some  thought,  ^because  Judas  had 
the  bag  [Marg  or,  "box"],  that  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Buy 
what  things  we  have  need  of  for  the  feast;  or,  that  he 
should  give  something  to  the  poor.  He  then  having 
received  the  sop  went  out  straightway:  and  it  was  night. 

4 When  therefore  he  was  gone  out,  Jesus  saith,  Now  is 
the  Son  of  man  glorified,  and  'God  is  glorified  in  him;  and 
God  shall  glorify  him  in  himself,  and  straightway  shall  he 
glorify  him.  Little  children,  yet  a  little  while  I  am  with

§136c]  OF    PRAYER   IN   HIS   NAME.  307 

see  me?  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  that  ye  shall 
weep  and  lament,  but  the  world  shall  rejoice:  ye  shall  be 
sorrowful,  but  your  sorrow  shall  be  turned  into  joy.  8A 
woman  when  she  is  in  travail  hath  sorrow,  because  her 
hour  is  come:  but  when  she  is  delivered  of  the  child, 
she  remembereth  no  more  the  anguish,  for  the  joy  that  a 
man  is  born  into  the  world.  And  ye  therefore  now  have 
sorrow:  'but  I  will  see  you  again,  and  your  heart  shall 
rejoice,  and  your  joy  no  one  taketh  away  from  you.  And 
in  that  day  ye  shall  ask  me  nothing.  Verily,  verily,  I  say 
unto  you,  If  ye  shall  ask  anything  of  the  Father,  he  will 
give  it  you  in  my  name.  Hitherto  have  ye  asked  nothing 
in  my  name:  ask,  and  ye  shall  receive,  that  your  joy  may 
be  made  full. 

These  things  have  I  spoken  unto  you  in  dark  sayings: 
the  hour  cometh,  when  I  shall  no  more  speak  unto  you  in 
dark  sayings,  but  shall  tell  you  plainly  of  the  Father.  In 
that  day  ye  shall  ask  in  my  name:  and  I  say  not  unto  you, 
that  I  will  pray  the  Father  for  you;  Mfor  the  Father  him- 
self loveth  you,  because  ye  have  loved  me,  and  have  be- 
lieved "that  I  came  forth  from  the  Father.  I  came  out 
from  the  Father,  and  am  come  into  the  world:  again,  I 
leave  the  world,  and  go  unto  the  Father.  His  disciples 
say,  Lo,  now  speakest  thou  plainly,  and  speakest  no  dark 
saying.  "Now  know  we  that  thou  knowest  all  things,  and 
needest  not  that  any  man  should  ask  thee:  by  this  we  be- 
lieve that  thou  earnest  forth  from  God.     Jesus  answered 


s  Isa.  36:17,  "  Like  as  a  woman  -with  child,  that  draweth  near  the  time  of 
her  delivery,  is  in  pain,  and  crieth  out  in  her  pangs ;  so  have  we  been  in  thy 
sight,  O  Lord."

v  John  17:8  (§  137)  [Jesus  said,  of  his  disciples,  they]  "  knew  of  a  truth 
that  I  came  forth  from  thee,  and  they  believed  that  thou  didst  send  me."

and  shall  leave  me  alone:  and  yet  ZI  am  not  alone,  because

plished the  work  which  thou  hast  given  me  to  do.  And 
now,  0  Father,  glorify  thou  me  with  thine  own  self  with 
the  glory  Vhich  I  had  with  thee  before  the  world  was. 
'I  manifested  thy  name  unto  the  men  whom  thou  gavest 
me  out  of  the  world:  thine  they  were,  and  thou  gavest 
them  to  me;  and  they  have  kept  thy  word.  Now  they 
know  that  all  things  whatsoever  thou  hast  given  me  are 
from  thee:  for  *the  words  which  thou  gavest  me  I  have 
given  unto  them;  and  they  received  them,  'and  knew  of  a

thou  didst  send  me.  I  pray  for  them;  I  pray  not  for  the 
world,  but  for  those  whom  thou  hast  given  me;  for  they 
are  thine:  and  all  things  that  are  mine  are  thine,  and 
thine  are  mine:  and  I  am  glorified  in  them.  mAnd

one,  even  as  we  are.  While  I  was  with  them,  °I  kept  them

a  'great '  2multitude  with  swords,  and  staves,  4with  lanterns

1 2Now  he  that  betrayed  him  2had  given  them  a  token

he  was  come,  '  2straightway  he  came  ['  2to  2him]  3and  [3he] 
drew  near  unto  '  3  Jesus  3to  kiss  him,  '  2and  said,  'Hail,

went  forth,  and  saith  unto  them,  Whom  seek  ye?  They 
answered  him,  Jesus  of  Nazareth.  Jesus  saith  unto  them, 
I  am  he.  And  Judas  also,  who  betrayed  him,  was  stand-

therefore  he  asked  them,  Whom  seek  ye?  And  they  said, 
Jesus  of  Nazareth.  Jesus  answered,  I  told  you  that  I  am

the  word  might  be  fulfilled  which  he  spake,  ddOi  those 
whom  thou  hast  given  me  I  lost  not  one. 

sAnd  when  they  that  were  about  him,  saw  what  would 
follow,  they  said,  Lord,  shall  we  smite  with  the  sword? 
'Then  [2And]  '  2they  'came  and  '  2laid  hands  on  'Jesus  [2him]

ye  thus  far.  And  he  touched  his  ear,  and  healed  him. 
['Then  saith  ]  ' 4 Jesus  therefore  said  14unto  4Peter  ['him],

this,  one  of  the  officers  standing  by  ^struck  Jesus  with 
his  hand,  saying,  Answerest  thou  the  high  priest  so?

But  they  said,  What  is  that  to  us?  see  thou  to  it.  And  he 
cast  down  the  pieces  of  silver  into  the  sanctuary,  and  de- 
parted; and  he  went  away  and  ?'hanged  himself,  6and  fall-

'And  the  chief  priests  took  the  pieces  of  silver,  and 
said,  It  is  not  lawful  to  put  them  into  the  treasury,  since

said  unto  him,  If  this  man  were  not  an  evil-doer,  we 
should  not  have  delivered  him  up  unto  thee.  Pilate  there- 
fore said  unto  them,  Take  him  yourselves,  and  judge 
him  according  to  your  law.  The  Jews  said  unto  him,  It 
is  not  lawful  for  us  to  put  any  man  to  death:  that  athe 
word  of  Jesus  might  be  fulfilled,  which  he  spake,  signify-

man  ^perverting  our  nation,  and  cforbidding  to  give  trib- 
ute to  °  cCassar,  and  saying  that  he  himself  is  Christ  a

Jews?  Jesus  answered,  Sayest  thou  this  of  thyself,  or  did

a  Jew?  Thine  own  nation  and  the  chief  priests  delivered

not  be  delivered  to  the  Jews:  but  now  is  my  kingdom  not 
from  hence.  Pilate  therefore  said  unto  him,  Art  thou  a 
king  then?  Jesus  answered,  Thou  sayest  it,  for  I  am  a 
king.  2  3And  Pilate  ['and  the  governor]  '  2  3asked  him,  '  lay-

my  voice.     Pilate  saith  unto  him,  What  is  truth? 

4And  when  he  had  said  this,  he  went  out  again  unto  the 
Jews,  and  saith  unto  them,  ^1  find  no  crime  in  him. 

'And   when    he   Was   accused  [2And  the   chief  priests   accused

But  when  Pilate  heard  it,  he  asked  whether  the  man 
were  a  Galilean.  And  when  he  knew  that  he  was  of 
Herod's  "jurisdiction,  he  sent  him  unto  Herod,  who  him- 
self also  was  at  Jerusalem  in  these  days. 

Now  when  Herod  saw  Jesus,  he  was  exceeding  glad:  for 
he  was  of  a  long  time  desirous  to  see  him,  because  *he  had 
heard  concerning  him;  and  he  hoped  to  see  some  miracle 
done  by  him.  And  he  questioned  him  in  many  words; 
but  he  answered  him  nothing.  And  the  chief  priests  and 
the  scribes  stood,  vehemently  accusing  him.  And  Herod 
with  his  soldiers  cset  him  at  nought,  and  mocked  him, 
and  arraying  him  in  gorgeous  apparel  sent  him  back  to 
Pilate.  rfAnd  Herod  and  Pilate  became  friends  with  each 
other  that  yery  day:  for  before  they  were  at  enmity 
between  themselves. 

And  Pilate  called  together  the  chief  priests  and  the 
rulers  and  the  people,  and  said  unto  them,  eYe  brought 
unto  me  this  man,  as  one  that  perverteth  the  people:  and

prison,  &and  was  *lying  bound  with  them  that  had  made

ye  that  I  release  unto  you?  Barabbas,  or  Jesus  who  is

made  in  the  city,  and  for  murder,  was  cast  into  prison)].        And  Pilate

governor   answered   and   said   unto  them],  '  Whether   of   the  twain 

will  ye  that  I  release  unto  you?  4They  cried  out  therefore 
again,  saying,  Not  this  man,  but  ['And  they  said]  '  barab- 
bas [(4Now  Barabbas  was  a  robber)].  2And  '  2Pilate  2again  an- 
swered and  said  ['saith]  '  2unto  them,  What  then  shall  I 
do  unto  'Jesus  [2him],  who  is  called  Christ?  2whom  ye  call 
the  King  of  the  Jews?  3But  '  3they  'all  [2And  they]  2cried 
out  [W]  again,  6and  3shouted,  saying,  Crucify,  2  3crucify 
him.  'Let  him  be  crucified.  2And  Pilate  [3And  he]  2  3said 
unto  them  ['And  he  said]  3the  third  time,  ' 2  3Why,  what  evil 
hath  3this  man  ['  "he]1 23done?  3I  have  found  no  cause  of

urgent  with  loud  voices,  asking  that  he  might  be  crucified.

rather  that  a  tumult  was  arising,  he  Hook  water,  and 
washed  his  hands  before  the  multitude,  saying,  I  am  inno-

J150]  PILATE   AGAIN"   SEEKS  HIS   RELEASE.  329

John  19:4-16a. 

And  Pilate  went  out  again,  and  saith  unto  them,  Be- 
hold, I  bring  him  out  to  you,  that  aje  may  know  that  I 
find  no  crime  in  him.  Jesus  therefore  came  out,  wearing 
the  crown  of  thorns  and  the  purple  garment.  And  Pilate 
saith  unto  them,  Behold,  the  man!  When  therefore  Hhe 
chief  priests  and  the  officers  saw  him,  they  cried  out,  say- 
ing, Crucify  Mm,  crucify  him.  Pilate  saith  unto  them, 
Take  him  yourselves,  and  crucify  him:  for  I  find  no  crime 
in  him.  The  Jews  answered  him,  cWe  have  a  law,  and  by 
that  law  he  ought  to  die,  because  dh.e  made  himself  the 
Son  of  God.  When  Pilate  therefore  heard  this  saying,  he 
was  the  more  afraid;  and  he  entered  into  the  Prsetorium 
again,  and  saith  unto  Jesus,  Whence  art  thou?  'But  Jesus 
gave  him  no  answer.  Pilate  therefore  saith  unto  him, 
Speakest  thou  not  unto  me?  knowest  thou  not  that  I  have 
power  to  release  thee,  and  have  power  to  crucify  thee? 
Jesus  answered  him,  •''Thou  wouldest  have  no  power  against 
me,  except  it  were  given  thee  from  above:  therefore  he 
that  delivered  me  unto  thee  hath  greater  sin.  Upon  this 
Pilate  sought  to  release  him:  but  the  Jews  cried  out,  say- 
ing, If  thou  release  this  man,  thou  7/art  not  Caesar's  friend: 

a  John  18:38  (§  146). 

b  Acts  3:13,"  Whom  ye  delivered  up,  and  denied  before  the  face  of  Pilate, 
when  he  had  determined  to  release  him." 

c  Lev.  £1:16,  "  He  that  blasphemeth  the  name  of  the  Lord,  he  shall  surely 
be  put  to  death." 

d  Matt.  36:63  (§  142).  John  5:18  (§  39),  "  The  Jews  sought  the  more  to  kill 
him,  because  he  .  .  .  called  God  his  own  Father,  making  himself  equal 
with  God."  e  Isa.  53:7.    Matt.  26:12  (§  129c).

^every  one  that  maketh  himself  a  king  speaketh  against 
Caesar.  When  Pilate  therefore  heard  these  words,  he 
brought  Jesus  out,  and  sat  down  on  the  judgment-seat  at 
a  place  called  The  Pavement,  but  in  Hebrew,  Gabbatha. 
Now  it  was  *the  Preparation  of  the  passover:  it  was  about 
the  'sixth  hour.  And  he  saith  unto  the  Jews,  Behold, 
your  King!  They  therefore  cried  out,  Away  with  Mm, 
away  with  Mm,  crucify  him.  Pilate  saith  unto  them, 
Shall  I  crucify  your  King?  The  chief  priests  answered, 
*We  have  no  king  but  Caesar.  Then  therefore  he  delivered 
him  unto  them  to  be  crucified.

to  madness,  they  renounce  Messianic  hopes,  and  are  driven  to  this  humili-

2  And  it  was  the  third  hour,  and  they  crucified  him.

place  where  Jesus  was  crucified  was  nigh  to  the  city  [4and 

it  was  written  (in  Hebrew,  and  in  Latin,  and  in  Greek)].

The  Jews  therefore,  because  it  was  the  a Preparation, 
that  6the  bodies  should  not  remain  on  the  cross  upon  the 
sabbath  (for  the  day  of  that  sabbath  was  a  high  day), 
asked  of  Pilate  that  their  legs  might  be  broken,  and  that 
they  might  be  taken  away.  The  soldiers  therefore  came, 
and  brake  the  legs  of  the  first,  and  of  the  other  who  was 
crucified  with  him:  but  when  they  came  to  Jesus,  and  saw 
that  he  was  dead  already,  they  brake  not  his  legs:  howbeit 
one  of  the  soldiers  with  a  spear  pierced  his  side,  and 
straightway  there  'came  out  blood  and  water.  And  he 
that  hath  seen  hath  borne  witness,  and  his  witness  is  true: 
and  he  knoweth  that  he  saith  true,  that  ye  also  may 
believe.  For  these  things  came  to  pass,  that  the  ^scripture 
might  be  fulfilled,  A  bone  of  him  shall  not  be 
broken.  And  again  another  scripture  saith,  'They 
shall  look  on  him  whom  they  pierced.

itself,  3and  he  departed  [3to  his  home],  wondering  at  that 
which  was  come  to  pass. 

4Then  entered  in  therefore  the  other  disciple  also,  who 
came  first  to  the  tomb,  and  he  saw,  and  believed.  For  as 
yet  they  knew  not  the  cscripture,  that  he  must  rise  again 
from  the  dead.

he  cast  out  seven  demons.

into  the  country,  5thus: 

[3And,  behold,]  3Two  of  them  were  going  that  very  day 
to  a  village  named  Emmaus,  which  was  threescore  fur- 
longs from  Jerusalem.  And  they  communed  with  each 
other  of  all  these  things  which  had  happened.  And 
it  came  to  pass,  while  they  communed  and  questioned 
together,  that  Jesus  himself  drew  near,  and  went  with 
them.  6But  their  eyes  were  holden  that  they  should  not 
know  him.  And  he  said  unto  them,  What  communica- 
tions are  these  that  ye  have  one  with  another,  as  ye  walk? 
And  they  stood  still,  looking  sad.  And  one  of  them, 
named  cCleopas,  answering  said  unto  him,  Dost  thou  alone 
sojourn  in  Jerusalem  and  not  know  the  things  which  are 
come  to  pass  there  in  these  days?  And  he  said  unto  them, 
What  things?  And  they  said  unto  him,  The  things  con- 
cerning Jesus  of  Nazareth,  rfwho  was  a  prophet  'mighty  in 
deed  and  word  before  God  and  all  the  people:  and  how 
the  •''chief  priests  and  our  rulers  delivered  him  up  to  be 
condemned  to  death,  and  crucified  him.  But  ywe  hoped 
that  it  was  he  that  should  redeem  Israel.  Yea  and  beside 
all  this,  it  is  now  the  third  day  since  these  things  came  to 
pass.  Moreover  ^certain  women  of  our  company  amazed 
us,  having  been  early  at  the  tomb;  and  when  they  found 
not  his  body,  they  came,  saying,  that  they  had  also  seen  a 
vision  of  angels,  who  said  that  he  was  alive.  And  "cer-

not.  And  he  said  unto  them,  0  foolish  men,  and  slow  of 
heart  to  believe  in  all  that  the  prophets  have  spoken! 
*Behoved  it  not  the  Christ  to  suffer  these  things,  and  to 
enter  into  his  glory?  And  beginning  from  'Moses  and 
from  "'all  the  prophets,  he  interpreted  to  them  in  all  the 
scriptures  the  things  concerning  himself.  And  they  drew 
nigh  unto  the  village,  whither  they  were  going:  and  he 
made  as  though  he  would  go  further.  "And  they  con- 
strained him,  saying,  Abide  with  us:  for  it  is  toward  even- 
ing, and  the  day  is  now  far  spent.  And  he  went  in  to  abide 
with  them.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  had  sat  down 
with  them  to  meat,  °he  took  the  bread,  and  blessed;  and 
breaking  it  he  gave  to  them.  And  their  eyes  were  opened, 
and  they  knew  him:  and  he  ^vanished  out  of  their  sight. 
And  they  said  one  to  another,  Was  not  our  heart  burning 
within  us,  while  he  spake  to  us  in  the  way,  while  he 
opened  to  us  the  scriptures? 

3And  they  rose  up  that  very  hour,  2and  [2they]  went 
away,  3and  returned  to  Jerusalem,  and  found  the  eleven 
gathered  together,  and  them  that  were  with  them,  saying, 
The  Lord  is  risen  indeed,  and  hath  appeared  to  Simon. 
And  they  rehearsed  the  things  that  happened  in  the  way, 
and  how  he  was  known  of  them  in  the  breaking  of  the 
bread.

them.

ner: 4When  therefore  it  was  evening,  on  that  day,  the  first 
day  of  the  week,  and  when  the  doors  were  shut  where  the 
disciples  were,  for  fear  of  the  Jews:  3and  as  they  spake 
these  things,  4 Jesus  came  and  [3he]  3himself  34stood  in  the 
midst  3of  them;  34and  saith  unto  them,  Peace  be  unto  you. 
"But  they  were  terrified  and  affrighted,  and  supposed  that 
they  beheld  a  ^spirit.  2And  he  upbraided  them  with  their 
unbelief  and  hardness  of  heart,  because  they  believed  not 
them  who  had  seen  him  after  he  was  risen.  3And  he  said 
unto  them,  Why  are  ye  troubled?  And  wherefore  do 
questionings  arise  in  your  heart?  See  my  hands  and  my 
feet,  that  it  is  I  myself:  handle  me,  and  see:  for  a  spirit 
hath  not  flesh  and  bones,  as  ye  behold  me  having.

was  the  Lord,  lie  girt  his  coat  about  him  (for  he  was  naked) 

[Marg.,  or,  "had   on   his   under  garments   only"],  and  Cast  himself 

into  the  sea.  But  the  other  disciples  came  in  the  little 
boat  (for  they  were  not  far  from  the  land,  but  about  two 
hundred  cubits  off),  dragging  the  net  full  of  fishes.  So 
when  they  got  out  upon  the  land,  they  see  a  fire  of  coals 
there,  and  fish  laid  thereon,  and  bread.  Jesus  saith  unto 
them,  Bring  of  the  fish  which  ye  have  now  taken.  Simon 
Peter  therefore  went  up,  and  drew  the  net  to  land,  full  of 
great  fishes,  a  hundred  and  fifty  and  three:  and  for  all 
there  were  so  many,  the  net  was  not  rent.  Jesus  saith 
unto  them,  -cCome  and  break  your  fast.  And  none  of  the 
disciples  durst  inquire  of  him,  Who  art  thou,  knowing 
that  it  was  the  Lord.  Jesus  cometh,  and  taketh  the  bread, 
and  giveth  them,  and  the  fish  likewise.  This  is  now  the 
Hhird  time  that  Jesus  was  manifested  to  the  disciples,  after 
that  he  was  risen  from  the  dead. 

4So  when  they  had  broken  their  fast,  Jesus  saith  to 
Simon  Peter,  Simon,  son  of  John,  *lovest  thou  me  more 
than  these?  He  saith  unto  him,  Yea,  Lord:  thou  knowest 
that  I  flove  thee.  He  saith  unto  him,  'Feed  my  lambs. 
He  saith  to  him  again  a  second  time,  Simon,  son  of  John, 
*lovest  thou  me?  He  saith  unto  him,  Yea,  Lord;  thou 
knowest  that  I  flove  thee.  He  saith  unto  him,  •'Tend  my 
sheep.  He  saith  unto  him  the  third  time,  Simon,  son  of 
John,  flovest  thou  me?  Peter  was  grieved  because  he 
said  unto  him  the  third  time,  fLovest  thou  me?  And  he 
said  unto  him,  Lord,  *thou  knowest  all  things;  thou  know- 
est that  I  flove  thee.     Jesus  saith  unto  him,  Feed  my

young,  thou  girdest  thyself,  and  walkedst  whither  thou 
wouldest:  but  Vhen  thou  shalt  be  old,  thou  shalt  stretch 
forth  thy  hands,  and  another  shall  gird  thee,  and  carry 
thee  whither  thou  wouldest  not.  Now  this  he  spake,  sig- 
nifying by  what  "'manner  of  death  he  should  glorify  God. 
And  when  he  had  spoken  this,  he  saith  unto  him,  Follow

loved,  following;  who  also  leaned  back  on  his  breast  at  the 
supper,  and  said,  Lord,  who  is  he  that  betrayeth  thee? 
Peter  therefore  seeing  him  saith  to  Jesus,  Lord,  and  what 
shall  this  man  do?  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  If  I  will  that 
he  tarry  °till  I  come,  what  is  that  to  thee  ?  follow  thou  me. 
This  saying  therefore  went  forth  among  the  brethren,  that 
that  disciple  should  not  die:  yet  Jesus  said  not  unto  him, 
that  he  should  not  die;  but,  If  I  will  that  he  tarry  till  I 
come,  what  is  that  to  thee  ?  This  is  the  disciple  who  bear- 
eth  witness  of  these  things,  and  wrote  these  things:  and

by  and  due  to  his  divine  Master,  but  could  only  give  assurance  of  his  own 
fervent  personal  affection.  On  asking  the  question  the  third  time,  Christ 
graciously  adopts  the  word  employed  by  Peter,  and  now  speaks  to  him 
again  as  a  f  riend.— Cf .  Dr.  Roberts,  of  the  English  Revision  Committee.]

A  BEIEF  HISTOET 

OF  THE 

Translations  of  the  English  Bible., 

AXSO, 

AN  ACCOUNT  OF  THE  SEPTUAGINT  AND  VULGATE. 


The  Bible  was  written  in  the  languages  which  were 
spoken  by  the  people  for  whom  its  different  parts  were 
originally  prepared. 

The  Old  Testament  was  given  in  Hebrew  (except  a 
small  portion,  viz. :  a  few  words  of  Gen.  31 :  47  and  Jer. 
10:11,  and  of  Ezra  4:8  to  6:18  and  7:12-26,  and  of  Dan. 
2:4:  to  7:28,  which  was  in  the  cognate  dialect,  Ohaldaic), 
and  the  New  Testament  was  given  in  Greek.  It  is  a 
remarkable  fact  that  both  the  Hebrew  and  the  Greek 
became  in  turn  practically  dead  languages  very  soon  after 
the  completion  of  each  scripture  canon,  the  former  giving 
way  to  the  latter  as  the  result  of  the  conquest  of  Alex- 
ander, and  the  latter  yielding  to  the  Latin  when  the 
supremacy  of  the  Romans  had  become  general.  Thus 
these  languages  became,  as  it  were,  sealed  up,  and  their 
words  no  longer  subject  to  the  changes  incident  to  all 
living  languages. 

The  Septuagikt  (seventy). — This  the  most  important 
of  the  ancient  versions  of  the  Old  Testament  Scriptures, 
is  supposed  to  have  been  made  at  Alexandria  about  285  B.  C, 
by  order  of  Ptolemy  Philadelphus.  Most  of  the  books 
of  the  Old  Testament  are  known  to  us  by  the  Greek  names

first  used  in  this  translation;  thus,  Genesis  means  begin- 
ning; Exodus,  departure  (from  Egypt);  Deuteronomy,  the 
second  (giving  of)  the  law,  etc.  Some  portions  of  this 
version,  noticeably  the  five  books  of  Moses,  are  said  to  be 
much  more  accurate  than  others,  thus  showing  different 
grades  of  scholarship.  This  was  the  version  in  common 
use  at  the  time  of  Christ,  and  both  he  and  the  apostles 
freely  quoted  from  it,  and  this  is  the  chief  reason  that  the 
Old  Testament  quotations,  which  we  find  in  the  New 
Testament  so  often  differ  from  the  words  as  found  in  the 
Old  Testament  itself. 

The  Vulgate. — The  received  Latin  version  of  the 
Bible.  It  was  completed  by  Jerome  in  405  A.D.  He 
drew  largely  upon  the  Septuagint,  and  also  upon  somewhat 
imperfect  original  MSS.,  and  did  much  of  his  work  hur- 
riedly, so  that  his  version  contains  many  errors,  as  he 
himself  admitted.  The  Clementine  edition  of  this  ver- 
sion is  the  present  standard  of  the  Eomish  church. 

But  notwithstanding  their  errors,  the  Vulgate  and  the 
Septuagint  are  very  important  versions,  and  highly  prized 
by  all  Biblical  scholars. 

During  the  Dark  Ages,  for  a  period  of  nearly  one  thou- 
sand years,  the  Bible  in  the  native  tongue  of  the  people 
was  practically  a  closed  book,  and  remained  so  until  the 
days  of  the  great  John  Wycliffe  in  the  fourteenth  century. 
During  this  dark  time  a  few  straggling  rays  of  Biblical 
light  were  here  and  there  seen,  as  when  in  the  seventh 
century,  Caedmon  translated  the  Psalms  into  English 
poetry,  and  in  the  eighth  century  the  venerable  Bede 
translated  some  of  the  Gospels  into  English  prose,  and  in 
the  tenth  century  King  Alfred  translated  a  small  portion 
of  the  New  Testament. 

Wycliffe's  Translation. — To  the  learned  and  cour- 
ageous John  Wycliffe,  however,  belongs  the  great  honor  of 
having  made  the  first  translation  of  the  whole  Bible  into 
English.     He  commenced  his  labors  in  1375,  and  finished 


TRANSLATIONS   OF  THE   ENGLISH   BIBLE.  361 

the  New  Testament  in  13S0,  and  the  Old  Testament  in 
1384,  the  last  date  being  just  one  hundred  years  before  the 
birth  of  Luther.  The  heroic  life  of  Wycliffe  is  thrillingly 
interesting  and  ought  to  be  familiar  to  all.  The  study  of 
his  life  and  times  will  cause  the  Christian  to  appreciate  as 
never  before  the  inestimable  value  of  the  Holy  Scriptures 
in  his  own  tongue.  At  that  time  the  printing  press  was 
unknown,  and  every  copy  of  the  Bible  had  to  be  made  by 
hand.  So  anxious  were  the  people  to  obtain  the  word  of 
God  that  they  often  gave  a  load  of  hay  for  a  few  chapters 
of  St.  James  or  St.  Paul.  Some  gave  the  savings  of  years 
for  the  same  object.  Men  even  gave  $40  to  $50  for  a  little 
tract  of  Wycliffe's,  containing  scripture  texts.  It  then 
required  nearly  three  years  to  make  a  copy  of  the  whole 
Bible,  at  a  cost  of  about  $1,500.* 

We  now  come  down  about  one  hundred  and  fifty  years 
to  the  second  great  period  in  the  history  of  the  English 
Bible,  viz. :  that  of  the  martyr, 

William  Tyndale. — Between  the  time  of  Wycliffe 
and  Tyndale  the  art  of  printing  had  been  invented,  thus 
enabling  the  latter  to  print  the  larger  part  of  his  version 
which  he  completed  in  1530.  From  the  time  of  the  print- 
ing of  Tyndale's  New  Testament  in  1525  till  1611,  when 
King  James'  version  appeared,  no  less  than  seven  different 
translations  and  revisions  of  the  English  Bible  were  issued, 
but  nearly  all  of  them  had  Tyndale's  version  as  their  prin- 
cipal model  and  basis.  Of  the  Protestant  versions  the 
most  important  ones  were  Matthews',  Coverdale's,  Cran- 
mer's  or  the  Great  Bible,  Genevan,  Bishops',  and  King 
James'.  The  Roman  Catholics  translated  the  New  Testa- 
ment at  Rheims  in  1452,  and  the  Old  Testament  at  Douay 
in  1609,  both  from  the  Latin  Vulgate.  Cranmer's,  or  the 
Great  Bible,  already  mentioned,  was  issued  in  1541,  and

New  Testament  for  5  cents.

was  the  first  authorized  version  of  the  English  Bible.  The 
Psalms  of  this  version  are  still  retained  in  the  book  of 
Common  Prayer  of  the  Protestant  Episcopal  Church. 

The  Genevan  Version,  so-called  from  its  place  of  issue, 
was  completed  in  1560  under  the  leadership  of  John  Cal- 
vin. It  was  very  popular,  and  continued  to  be  printed 
long  after  the  first  appearance  of  King  James'  version. 
Indeed,  as  late  as  1649,  thirty-eight  years  after  the  latter 
version  was  first  issued,  we  find  that  popular  favor  was 
sought  for  it  by  its  being  printed  with  the  Geneva  notes. 
The  Genevan  version  was  the  first  one  to  use  the  divisions 
of  chapter  and  verse. 

The  King  James  Version,  the  C.  V.  of  our  day,  was 
first  issued  in  1611.  It  was  not  a  new  translation,  but  a 
revision  of  former  translations,  the  principal  model  and 
basis  of  which,  as  previously  stated,  was  Tyndale's  version. 
But  upon  the  whole  it  surpassed  all  its  predecessors,  and 
is  probably  the  best  version  ever  made  for  public  use. 
"It  reveals,"  says  a  member  of  the  American  Revision 
Committee,  "an  easy  mastery  of  the  rich  resources  of  the 
English  language,  and  blends  with  singular  felicity  Saxon 
force  and  Latin  melody.  Even  its  prose  reads  like  poetry, 
and  sounds  like  music.  Its  best  recommendation  is  its 
universal  adoption  and  use  in  every  Protestant  church  and 
household  that  speaks  the  English  tongue.  It  has  admir- 
ably served  its  purpose  for  more  than  two  hundred  and 
fifty  years,  and  is  so  interwoven  with  English  and  Ameri- 
can literature  that  it  can  never  be  entirely  superseded. 
Next  to  Christianity  itself,  the  version  of  1611  is  the 
greatest  boon  which  a  kind  Providence  has  bestowed  upon 
the  English  race. 

"But  with  all  its  acknowledged  excellencies,  it  is  the 
product  of  imperfect  men,  and  has  innumerable  minor 
errors  and  defects.  This  has  long  since  been  felt  by  those 
who  know  it  best  and  love  it  most.  It  may  be  greatly 
improved  without    sacrificing    any  of    its  merits.     The 


TRANSLATIONS   OF   THE   ENGLISH  BIBLE.  363 

translators  had  sound  principles,  except  that  of  *  unneces- 
sary variations  in  renderings,  and  they  made  the  best  use 
of  their  resources.  But  the  resources  of  the  seventeenth 
century  were  limited;  Biblical  philology,  geography,  and 
archeeology  were  yet  in  their  infancy,  and  comparative 
philology  and  textual  criticism  were  not  yet  born.  Since 
that  time  Biblical  scholarship  in  all  its  branches  has  made 
vast  progress,  especially  within  the  last  fifty  years.  The 
Greek  and  Hebrew  languages,  with  all  their  cognate  dia- 
lects, are  better  known  now  than  ever  before.  The  oldest 
and  best  uncial  manuscripts  of  the  Greek  Testament  have 
recently  been  discovered  and  thoroughly  examined,  to- 
gether with  the  ancient  versions  and  patristic  quotations." 

Many  individual  revisions  of  the  Bible  have  been  made 
since  1611,  one  by  John  Wesley,  among  others,  but  no 
organized  effort  in  that  direction  until  1850,  when  the 

American  Bible  Union  was  formed.  After  sixteen 
years'  labor,  that  society,  in  1866,  put  forth  its  version  of 
the  New  Testament,  on  which  they  had  had  the  work  of 
able  scholars  from  several  denominations.  In  this  version 
the  word  "baptizo"  was  uniformly  translated  "immerse." 
This  society  also  translated  portions  of  the  Old  Testament, 
having  completed  the  books  of  Genesis,  Judges,  Ruth, 
Job,  Psalms,  and  Proverbs.  Their  editions  of  Genesis 
and  Psalms  have  had  extensive  circulation. 

The  invaluable  0.  T.  library,  probably  the  most  exten- 
sive one  in  America,  which  was  collected  by  this  society, 
is  now  in  Morgan  Park  Theological  seminary,  near  Chi- 
cago, the  site  of  the  flourishing  Institute  of  Hebrew. 

^Numerous  illustrations  from  the  C.  V.  of  the  result  of  this  unsound 
principle  can  be  given,  but  a  few  must  suffice.  In  speaking  of  the  extent 
of  the  darkness  that  occurred  at  the  crucifixion,  the  same  Greek  word  is 
translated  in  Matt.  (27:45)  and  in  Mark  (15:33)  as  over  the  "land,"  and  in  Luke 
(23:44)  as  over  the  "earth.'1'1  The  new  version  correctly  renders  the  word 
"land  "  in  all  three  Gospels,  with  margin,  "or  earth.1' 

Again  in  Matt.  (25:46)  the  C.  V.  is  "And  these  shall  go  away  into  everlast- 
ing punishment;  but  the  righteous  into  life  eternal.'1''  The  corrected  reading 
is  "into  eternal  punishment";  and  "  into  eternal  life.'''1 

Again,  in  Matt.  (26:41)  in  the  C.  V.,are  the  words  "the  spirit  indeed  is 
willing,  but  the  flesh  is  weak,"  while  in  Mark  (14:38)  the  same  original  is 
rendered,  "the  spirit  truly  is  ready,"  etc.  The  new  version  makes  Mark 
read  the  same  as  Matthew  did.    See  note,  page  xxii. 


384  TBANSLATIONS   OF  THE   ENGLISH   BIBLE. 

The  labors  of  this  society  added  impetus  to  the  move- 
ment, which  culminated  in  England,  May  6,  1870,  in  the 
appointment  of  a  commission  to  undertake  what  is  now 
known  as  the 

Anglo- Amebic  an"  Kevision— About  eighty  of  the  most 
distinguished  Biblical  scholars  of  England  and  America, 
representing  all  the  leading  Protestant  denominations, 
have  been  engaged  upon  the  work.  In  the  spring  of 
1881,  the  New  Testament  committee,  at  the  end  of  ten 
years'  toil,  completed  their  allotted  task;  and  it  is  ex- 
pected that  the  Old  Testament  committee  will  announce 
the  completion  of  their  labors  during  the  year  1885,  The 
revised  New  Testament  has  already  been  received  into 
quite  general  favor  among  Bible  students,  and  has  not 
met  with  more  opposition  or  adverse  criticism  than  was 
anticipated;  and  this  opposition  will  diminish  as  the  im- 
portant truth  secures  acknowledgment  that  the  acceptance 
or  rejection  of  a  reading  is  not  a  matter  of  individual 
preference,  but  one  of  fidelity  to  the  original. 

In  conclusion,  attention  is  drawn  to  the  fact  that  the 
new  version  will  probably  not  be  expected,  for  many  years 
to  come,  to  supersede  the  common  version,  but  rather  to 
supplement  it,  somewhat  in  the  nature  of  a  commentary; 
and  if  it  shall  have  won  for  itself  a  general  acceptance 
among  the  people,  within  the  first  twenty  years  of  its 
existence,  it  will  have  done  very  much  better  than  did 
its  great  predecessor. 

To  such  as  fear  that  the  knowledge  of  the  existence  of 
different  readings  may  have  a  tendency  to  undermine  the 
faith  of  any  in  the  authenticity  of  the  Scriptures,  it  may 
be  stated  that  never,  in  the  history  of  Christianity,  was 
there  a  more  ardent  and  devout  study  of  the  Bible  than 
during  the  period  just  following  the  translation  by  Tyn- 
dale,  in  1530,  when  there  were  four  or  five  different 
versions  in  the  hands  of  the  people.

EXPLANATION  OF  MAP  AND  DIAGRAMS. 


On  the  page  opposite  the  "  Map  of  the  Pathways  of 
Jesus  "  is  presented  a  list  of  the  "  Principal  Places  Vis- 
ited" by  our  Lord,  beginning  at  Bethlehem,  where  he  was 
born,  and  ending  at  Bethany,  the  place  of  his  ascension  ; 
and  these  are  given  in  chronological  order,  as  shown  by  the 
numbers  in  the  left-hand  columns.*  The  corresponding 
numbers  on  the  lines  of  the  map  and  the  diagrams,  with 
the  arrows,  indicate  at  what  town  or  country  each  journey 
terminated.  Thus  :  line  No.  2  shows  that  he  went  from 
Bethlehem  to  Jerusalem  ;  line  No.  3,  that  he  went  from 
Jerusalem  to  Bethlehem  ;  line  No.  4,  that  he  went  from 
Bethlehem  to  Egypt,  etc.  Several  of  the  short  journeys, 
mainly  those  about  Capernaum  and  Jerusalem,  could  not 
conveniently  be  shown  on  the  map,  though  indicated  in 
the  list.  Omitted  lines  are  such  as  would  correspond  to 
Nos.  11,  22,  23,  25,  26,  29,  30,  31,  34,  35,  41,  42,  47,  55, 
56,  57,  58,  65,  67,  and  68.  Lines  Nos.  69  to  85  inclusive 
are  shown  on  the  diagrams.  None  of  his  appearances 
after  his  resurrection  are  indicated  on  the  map,  except  87 
Emmaus.  Only  in  a  few  instances  is  the  exact  route 
pursued  by  our  Saviour  in  going  from  place  to  place  known; 
hence  the  lines  on  the  map  and  diagrams  are  conjectural, 
except  as  to  their  general  course  and  termination. 

The  letter  and  figure  following  each  name  in  the  list 
indicate  the  space  on  the  map  where  the  place  will  be 
found  ;  thus,  Jerusalem  (G  2)  is  in  the  space  where  G 
from  the  sides  of  the  map  meets  2  from  the  top  and 
bottom. 

The  "  Diagrams  illustrating  the  Principal  Events  of 
Crucifixion  Week "  will  be  found  on  the  page  following 
the  list  of  the  "Principal  Places  Visited." 

See  "  Summary  of  the  Principal  Events  in  the  Last 
Forty-Eight  Days  of  our  Lord's  life  on  Earth,"  on  page  248. 

*  There  are  also  numbers  in  the  headings  of  the  different  sections  of  the  book 
which  correspond  to  these  numbers.  See  §  8,  page  38,  and  §  10,  page  43,  for  No.  1 ; 
and  §  11,  page  44,  for  No.  2;  and  §  12,  page  47,  for  No.  3,  etc.  See  also  "  Expla- 
nation of  Text,"  page  xxii.
